You do have to worry about it. Usually its not a big deal, but it can be.

Some of the circuitry on the back of the tube has all the power going to it. So watch out back there if it's exposed.

Many monitors will discharge themselfs, but don't assume. Discharge it if you want. If it's dead dead, you might want to just discharge it real quick. (stand on a rubber chair with a pair of gloves and one hand in your pocket holding a screwdriver with a cord that connects it to ground. Then put it under the suction cup. then repeat in 5 minutes) It's kinda fun... but mine was an auto discharge so I didn't hear the pop...sigh... all that work and not even a little pop.
