No, your moniter will not overheat as long as you keep it somewhat ventilated(no towels on it)
lcd's r very sensitive, dont use like crt. if u hav ac in urs office or home then u can continue, bcz it stays lower temp but in normal u can run 8-10 hrs .
As long as you do not totally block the vents then it will not overheat. There are components on there that can fail though. If something in the power supply fails or in the inverter card it can smoke when it fails. Also any electrolytic capacitor will produce a puff of steam when it fails that can look like smoke. To carry a safety mark like UL, CSA, CE, etc. the case of the monitor has to act as a fire enclosure. Typically all components will extinguish themselves once they no longer receive power and the monitor will shut of power to most circuits if there is a failure. If you really thought smoke came out of the monitor then unplug it and take it to a repair shop.
