Magnets, how do they work?

Unless your monitor is CRT, I doubt anything bad can happen. Of course, you can hold the magnet up to your monitor and see what it does (of course if it does something you should take the magnet away)

crt? where do i check that, just hang it against the back, nothings happening but scared for marks that might appear after a while?

CRT is cathode Ray tube, super old display technology. It's not used on any modern displays. An LCD monitor is unaffected by magnetism, but you could look up long term effects on electronics if you like. People use magnets as accessories on PCs a lot, so I can't imagine anything bad happening.

CRT monitors (those big tube monitors everyone used to use) use magnets to help project the image on the screen, so an external magnet would definitely cause some problems if the monitor wasn’t shielded. Placing a magnet next to one of those monitors made it look like a kaleidoscope. But LCD and LED monitors (the flat screen monitors we use today) function completely differently, so they are generally not affected by magnets. After all, your speakers use magnets to work and they don’t mess with your monitor, so the magnet is perfectly safe to use.
