Connecting monitor to a laptop?

[hristan0v]

Hello guys! I want to ask you one simple question - Is connecting a monitor to a laptop a bad idea?

I'm asking you because after many months of doing this - my monitor broke. On the other hand, it could be either because of : A) Me frequently connecting and disconnecting it from the laptop. B) Problem in my monitor (It is 5-6 years old - Asus VW223D). Any help & suggestions would be appreciated !

It should be fine. If it's the connector that went bad, then it might have something to do with it, but otherwise the monitor probably just died.

Hi, what is the use of a monitor? To be connected to a desktop, a laptop or something else. Every electronics will die eventually, and this has nothing to do which component is connected to it.
