Thank you for proving my point...

Do all monitors ignore the out of range signals?  I mean every single monitor 
out there now?
You can not answer that, can you?  That is because you do not know every 
monitor out there.  Either do I, however, it still may be possable, meaning 
it is possable for a virus to distroy hardware.

What if I ws not sitting at the computer at the time.  How about a virus 
acting as a screen saver?  After a few hours of nothing happening kick the 
monitor into a freq. that it was not designed for.

In case of what?  If it was impossable for software to distroy hardware then 
there would be no need, because it will never happen!
