Generally any CRT won't begin to produce X-Rays until the second anode is
putting out close to 35KV.. All monitors have built in overvoltage protection,
and in normal operation they all top out at roughtly 20KV, well below the X-Ray
producing range.. If the overvoltage circuit fails and a monitor does start
putting out really high voltage, you'll notice it :)

I don't think this is something to really worry about.
