No. Plug 'n' Play with respect to monitors is a marketing gimmick. It
effectively means that it is a monitor that won't burn itself out if you
feed it frequencies it can't display.
Plug 'n Play monitors have a return signal to the video card that tells
the card whether the frequency is valid or not. I'm not aware of any real
use for this. I'm certain that X-windows doesn't care about it, and I'm
also certain that it causes no problems.
