If you put a magnet near a LCD monitor will it mess it up like it can a CRT?

I found this link but it's about TV's. I would imagine the same thing would apply to a monitor

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi

not as much...but I don't have a magnet handy. The pixels on LCDs are transistors (or were, at one time, I haven't had to know in a few years) LCD's are liquid crystals. Now plasma, that might be something else..;)

Reminds me of my Dad, who had a cavity magnetron from an old radar, sitting in the shop. Read about how magnets shape TV images, and applied said magnet to color TV. Never caught, but the whole image got sucked into the area of the magnet like a black hole. TV needed repairs too...I am so bad..; (was about 12 or so..;)

I tripped while carrying my LCD monitor to its new location, and pressed hard on the screen with my fingers as I tried to steady myself.  ( yes, famous for being the clumsy oaf ).  The LCD crystals leaked from their little cells, and I now see a black blotch across my screen when I switch it on and connect it to my computer.   So that's another way to change how  you see what's on your monitor.
