Knowing that what you're seeing is the same as what others are seeing is worth the risk. We've all seen powerpoint jockeys who can see their presentation fine on their laptop but it's not coming out of the projector...

But a watchdog system that cuts power to the external display if something's not right wouldn't go amiss.
