shouldn't hurt anything, monitors do vocationally arc inside, usually caused by gamma rays (the sun is usually the main source), but it corrects itself usually. this is also the cause of some true computer errors, gamma rays will turn on transistors if they hit the right part and flip bits in memory, it's a very weak effect, there aren't that many gamma rays and they have to hit the right spot for it to matter, but it does happen infrequently and randomly, especially now that we're entering another high spot in sunspot activity. now if you hear it arcing i'd be more concerned.
