Which logo are you seeing? A lot of crap has fake copies of the old
logo they haven't used for years. The UL rating is usually on the power
cord, not the device. http://www.bb-battery.com/UL-1logo.gif is the
current design.

That's the *component* recognition mark.

For equipment it should look more like this:
http://www.ul.com/marks_labels/mark/..._US_listed.gif

Even if all the components are recognized, it does *not* mean that the
complete product is. A product can be listed with critical parts not
recognized, it just costs more for the testing.

BTW, I have repaired video monitors for over 35 yeas, and have never
seen one that caught fire. A few damaged flybacks, but no fire damage.

I wonder if this one was caused by a monitor:
