Entirely broken on macOS Sierra with MBP 2016

[masc3d]

Disabled monitor will either turn on again immediately (while still showing as disabled in DisableMonitor) or the disabled monitor will show a black screen, sometimes even a frozen cursor, instead of turning off.

It will at all time remain visible in the display preferences and also continue to consume GPU processing power.

Tested with

• Macbook Pro 2016 15", OSX 10.12.3
• LG Ultrafine 5K
• Eizo EV2736W

Issue occurs with either LG or Eizo connected.

I observe the same behavior. MacBook Pro 13" mid-2012 OSX 10.12.4 DELL U2412M (1920x1200) Thunderbolt -> DVI connection

FWIW, here are excerpts of the console messages when attempting to disable the second monitor:

I fixed this problem with:

1. Restart & boot into the Recovery System (command+R)
2. Open Terminal from menu Utilities
3. Type csrutil disable and press return
4. Close the Terminal & restart normal
