Can VGA be hacked?
All this is made possible because every VGA card contains high speed Digital to Analog Converters (DACs), and VGA DACs generate a lot of harmonics. When hacking with VGA, sometimes you can get problems when plugging other than normal monitor to PC.
Can you use a VGA monitor and HDMI at the same time?
Even if you have both HDMI & VGA outputs, you’ll only be able to use one at a time. Or, at best, they will share the same picture output. If you want to run more than 1 external monitor off your laptop, you’ll need to use some type of USB multi-monitor adapter.
Is VGA to HDMI adapter worth it?
No. It will just cost you more money. Unless you have some amazingly expensive converter device the display is probably the best device to convert the VGA to the format needed to display the picture. A simple converter box for under $50 won’t do anything that the display isn’t capable of doing perfectly well.

Are there any vulnerabilities in a VGA display?
In the case of VGA, this was a backported feature (VGA displays from the early 1990s could not do that). Theoretically, this could be exploited, if (and only if) there is some weakness in the receiving part (the display card and its driver). The protocol is not complex (no TCP/IP stack involved) so exploitable security holes should be rare.
