I've heard that you can just run a decent magnet over the surface of
the monitor to fix the burned-in image problem.  I don't know whether
it is true, I've never tried it.  I've heard similar rumors about
those bulk cassette tape erasers based on electromagnets.

Try it only at your own risk.  Apply standard disclaimers here.
