Dunno if it's a Bad Thing(tm), but that's what I always did. I've got a GDM17-20
(or 20-17? the 17" version at least). It was normally connected to the PC, and only
for booting or real emergencies I used to connect it to my Sun. Didn't even bother
turning it of most of the time.

I stopped switching now I got an Eizo monitor. I always thought the Sun GDM's were 
good (being Sony trinitron and such), but the Eizo is clearly _much_ better.

Anyone interested in a used but fully functional 13W3 to VGA adapter?
