It is but here is an old trick - <<<WARNING- USE AT YOUR OWN
RISC!!!!!!>>>>>
Take a paper clip, bend into a u shape, insert one end into the fourth
pinhole from the right (while facing the back of the box) on the top row of
the monitor port and the other end into the 3rd pinhole from the right on
the lower row.
It will now think it has a monitor attached.
