Your monitor is a flat panel? I wouldn't worry too much about frying it 
from analog mode, in that case. If it can't decode the analog signal, it 
should just ignore it. I'm not an electrical engineer or anything (lowly 
CS geek), but I think you would worry more about frying CRT's that try 
to clock the signal right out to the electron gun at a bandwidth (and 
the associated higher power levels and so on) that their hardware can't 
support.
