Okay, by trial and error I found the sysctl setting machdep.lidaction=0
turns off suspend on closing lid, and I figured out I need to add it to
/etc/sysctl.conf to make it permanent, so I'm sorry for the early
question about that :)

Still would like to know how to turn the display off, have not figured
that out yet ;)

Best,

Unicorn
