One way to get the display to turn off immediately is by setting a hot corner in Desktop & Screen Saver>Screen Saver>Hot Corners... to "Put Display to Sleep" and then dragging the pointer to the appropriate corner. Works like a charm.

There are at least two:
1. System Preferences>Battery
[√] Prevent your Mac from automatically sleeping when the display is off
2. caffeinate(8) command
$ man caffeinate
Note it has some interesting options such as configuring display/system/disk sleep as well as preventing the system from sleeping while running a specified command (e.g. make).
