hey mine is 15" LG 520si my friend tweaking it w/ s/w (idon't know
what s/w it is but its some sort of tweaking s/w )
he set the Refresh rate to 125 Hz 1600 x 1200 32 bit color and when
he click the 'apply' button then
BOOM the monitor was smoky
The inside of the monitor was burned, the video card is extremely hot.

Lucky me, my vendor replaced the Vcard and the monitor (because of the
warranty)
Just becareful when changing your display properties
