bicostp:
A strong magnet will just magnetize the dot mask in the monitor and make it a mess. It won't do anything for the burn-in problem. (Magnets bend the electron beams in the monitor. This is good because that's how it aims them properly, but bad because a magnetized dot mask will cause them to go where they shouldn't and screw up the picture.)

However, a strong magnet with the poles oscillating will 'scramble' the particles in the mask and demagnetize it. (Degaussing the screen, kind of the same way as the loud "BUZZzzzzzt" you hear when you turn it on does, but much more effective.)
