While true that a PS, like a monitor can hold a charge after the
power is turned off, and the power cable removed it is usually only
for a maximum of about 5 minutes. There are bleeder circuits to bleed
off the extra voltage down to safe levels and even on the largest
monitors that I work on, it is within 5 minutes.
