I'm wondering about radiation levels at close range to the
electronics of a computer monitor.

Specifically, I'm thinking about an animal lying on top of the
monitor vents when it's cold in the room (when monitor cooling is
not an issue).

Is there a significant difference in potentially destructive
radiation at that close range?

I vaguely recall hearing about some significant radiation at very
close range to specific components?

Years ago when TV sets had tubes, some of the tubes in the high voltage
section would emitt x-rays. Even then the x-rays were usually beaming down
so you had to be under them to get very much radiation.

I would worry more about my monitor over heating because the vents were
blocked.
