How can you make it so when the laptop lid is closed, the PC doesn't suspend or lock but just turn off the display so that I don't have to log back in. I have tried changing the lid close action to blank but it logs me out. Also how do I set screen to "Blank" when lid is closed correctly? Doing it from dconf-editor doesn't seem to work!

Alright. Found an answer. Put the screen to go blank when lid is closed. Then go to settings -> Privacy -> Screen Lock and turn off automatic screen lock.
Instead of using 'blank' use action 'lock'. It will lock you out but wifi and all background process will be intact and will not make any delay as happens in suspend.
