I don't see how that extension cord device will be of any use either.
I have heard of people using demagnetizers (the sort of thing used to bulk
erase tapes and disks) to degauss a monitor. I personally don't know how
well that works. You could take the monitor to a TV repair shop and they
should be able to degauss it for a few dollars (if they want more than a few
dollars to do it, then they probably are trying to rip you off).
Many monitors have built-in degaussing coils activated briefly right after the
monitor is turned on -- but they are usually not nearly as effective as using
a separate "external" degaussing device.
