A day or two will probably discharge the tube. If you wish to do it a bit
faster, get ten 1 meg 1/4 watt resistors and connect them in series and
close together end to end. Then seal with heatshrink tubing and connect a
wire to one end. Connect the wire to the metal chassis of the monitor and
the other end of the string resistor is jumpered to the metal blade of an
insulated screwdriver and the blade is slid under the rubber cup to
discharge the tube...
Or you could wait a day...
