Ok, this might be a stupid question, but I'm new to the Mac World, is there a way to turn off or completely darken the screen of a Imac, without turning of the actual computer?

On my macbook I can darken the screen completely with the brightness buttons on the keyboard, i'd try that

Sleep corners have been suggested before as an option. Just set it to put your display to sleep when you move your mouse into the corner of the screen.

ctrl+shift+eject is what you're looking for. sleeps the screen, not your mac.
