I'd worry less about the monitor than the rest of the machine.  I'd also 
set the whole contraption in a box that is roomy enough for air flow but
not enough for the cat to get in.

Personally, I don't let mine in the same room with my computers, but then
I have a few more than a normal person.  So I play this guilt trip - go in
the office and feel guilty about not spending time with the "kids" - or go
in the living room and feel guilty about not using the machine I want to
learn more about and spent so much money on.

Isn't life wonderful?
