Is there any option native to VLC player on windows to automatically turn off the display when playing a video in it? Could be handy when I want to listen only to audio with the screen off for battery efficiency. I am using Windows 8 on Dell laptop.

The video could be turned off by disabling video and enabling screensaver in the video settings (in show all setting) of vlc player.
If you use cvlc or nvlc, you can use the --no-video
option:
nvlc --no-video "http://youtube.com/cool_music_video"
