I have a machine with a built-in video port that the BIOS auto disables when I plug in a separate display card. For some reason my Win8.1 installation on that machine shows a third monitor as well, although you can't do anything with it.

I once had a user connect a single monitor two both the VGA and DVI inputs, so it thought two monitors were active. Also, one should still be able to just simply disable the phantom monitor.
