Are LCD screen safe from magnetics?

Question

I have just bought a 2407.
ANd I have a wireless connection.
Because I had to rearrange my desk, the extension ariel for my wireless card has been moved about 1 meter from its previous position resulting in a drop in signal strength.
However holding it near the top of the monitor gives me a substancial gain in strength.
The extension ariel has a magnetic base however, so I am ruluctant to place it on top if it is going to damage my new expensive monitor.
I read something saying that LCD is not affected by magnets.
But I just want to be sure before I go and place ariel on top of the montitor.
ANy help owuld be great Thanks.

Yeah I don't think it is very powerful...
I have it sitting on the back cnr of the pc box, futhest away form the hdds.
But it is designed for pc use, so it can't be too bad.
I could possibly rip the magnet out if necessary.

Well LCDs aren't affected by speakers in the same way CRTs are but you're talking about the general 'no magnets near computers' thing right? Well there definitely isn't a hard disk/magnetic storage in the monitor, and I don't think electronics are affected (if at all) unless it's a very strong magnet.   I reckon it'll fine; maybe should wait for a second or third opinion :smileyhappy:
