Output Video with Screen Off

So, does anyone know if there is a way to output video from an Android device without the device screen on?

I have an old Nexus that I'd like to mount on the back of a touchscreen monitor to basically have an android powered media PC in the kitchen, but for power, heat, and redundancy reasons, I don't want the phone screen to be on when I'm outputting video.

I'm also looking into Chromebox, but I'd prefer to be able to run my android apps, and not drop the money when I have a functional Android device.

Cheers.
