Did you know that monitors tend to catch fire most often at the time they are switched on. The magnetic fields in the coils can keep dust and rubbish away, but when its switched off this all settles and can cause problems.
I used to work for a company that had monitors on the factory floor and they used to get full of cast iron dust. If you switched them off they would always go bang when you switched them on again. We had a power cut once and 100's of the things when bang when the power came back on.
