Any quick and easy way to turn the NAV display totally off?

Thanks, I was hoping for even quicker and easier like a voice command but no luck.

In my case I would like to simply achieve what you wrote in your subject title.
Just quickly turn off the screen (not the NAV screen).

Lexus brags that you can turn on the screen simply by touching it.
That is SUPER!
Now how to do you turn it off, just as quickly?

So far I haven't found the secret. I'm staring at the screen(s) and none of them say "touch me to turn off screen".

If the Display OFF can be accessed via CAN network, then it is possible to make your own physical button that can turn the screen on and off.

Thanks.
I love creative answers like this when Lexus doesn't provide a basic feature.

So far the only thing I've found is Settings/Scroll down/Display/Turn Off
Now we all know Lexus and governments recommend always looking out the windshield at the traffic ahead of you.
Why would Lexus make you play with the screen four times just to turn it off?

How about providing a button on the outer edge of the screen?
Or tap the screen once to turn ON and twice to turn OFF?

Surely you're one of those drivers who's read the Lexus provided manuals and are following the provided guidance on the safe operation of the vehicle especially warnings such as:
⚠︎ WARNING

● For safety, the driver should operate the display as little as possible while driving and should stop the vehicle to operate the display. Operating the display while driving is dangerous such as mistakenly turning the steering wheel or other unforeseen accidents. Additionally, look at the display only as necessary and as briefly as possible when driving the vehicle.
So, Lexus explicitly warns of the dangers of operating the display while driving and strongly advises against doing that. Just because some drivers choose to ignore Lexus's safe driving guidance and continue working feverishly toward winning their Darwin Award, you can't blame Lexus for drivers engaging in this particular unsafe driving practice.

While I don't claim to follow that particular Lexus safety guidance 100% of the time, there's been plenty of times I've pulled over and stopped to make settings changes requiring more than the briefest span of divided attention to make the change.
