CRT Monitor emit an odor. Is this terrifying?
Answer:
Yes! It probably signifies one of the electronic components [a resistor , IC, or diode] is going bad. This is a potential fire peril. I highly recommend unplugging the monitor from the wall and not using it again until it have been serviced by an professional.
I am an aerospace technician. Anytime you smell an odor from any electronic device, unplug it without hesitation and have it serviced. Just turning it sour will NOT do. As long as it it plugged into the wall socket it still has current running through it which can exact a fire.
It's emitting cosmic radiation. I'd replace it ASAP in the past you're infused with Cosmic Radiation Poisoning.
it is dust built up inside it. blow it out next to compressed air and you will be fine.
Don't dribble away any time or risk any hazards!

It's very potential that you have a leak capacitor in your monitor. Stop using it and own it repaired. Perhaps it is also time to move up to an LCD monitor.
