i read somewhere that u should never plug in both the vga and dvi for ur monitor only one at a time. ive been doing that this entire time lol

is it bad?
 
If the monitor really has only one input, but gives you the choice of either VGA or DVI . . . then plugging both in at the same time is bad.

If your monitor has multiple inputs, and the VGA and DVI can be selected separately . . . well, that's what it's designed for.
