You could get a dummy HDMI plug for $3 on Amazon and free up that monitor if you need it. [1]

What Amazon says

4K@60Hz HDR VIRTUAL DISPLAY: This BKFK HDMI EDID emulator uses EDID emulation to keep a virtual screen active without a physical monitor. It supports up to 3840×2160 at 60Hz (4:2:0) and 1920×1080 at 120Hz, helping enable smoother hardware-accelerated remote desktop, video editing, rendering, and development workflows. Available display modes may vary by GPU and operating system.
BUILT FOR HEADLESS PC SETUPS: This dummy HDMI plug is designed for remote-deployed PCs, home servers, SOHO systems, colocation environments, and mini servers. It provides a persistent display target for remote management without keeping a physical monitor connected, helping reduce desk space, monitor power use, and the cost of maintaining dedicated displays.
PLUG & PLAY HDMI EMULATOR: No drivers, software, external power supply, or configuration utility required. Simply insert it into an HDMI output and select a supported resolution in your operating system. Ideal for unattended PCs, remote access, screen sharing, simulations, workstation rendering, and other headless applications. Not an HDMI transmitter or receiver.
ALUMINUM HOUSING WITH STATUS LED: The compact BKFK HDMI dongle features a durable aluminum shell for improved heat dissipation and everyday wear resistance. An integrated LED provides a quick visual indication of connection status, while the low-profile design is suitable for long-term use with home labs, server racks, workstations, and remotely managed computers.
WIDE SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY: Works with most HDMI-equipped desktops, laptops, mini PCs, and discrete graphics cards running Windows, macOS, Linux, and other common operating systems. Suitable for remote desktop, VNC, game streaming, screen sharing, VR setups, home servers, and virtual display workflows. Connect to an HDMI output for use.
