Monitors can be switched off on boot or even when you start up X as even switched off monitors should supply DDC data as the DDC circuit receives its power from the graphics board.
Sounds great but probably broken with common server setups using a KVM?
Most KVMs today seem to pass DDC over nicely. Eventually the KVM manufacturers have learned their lesson and caught on. After all DDC has been around for a while.
