Perhaps every *unsealed* capacitor would act like a resistor.

Okay, then think of as a a really large diode, where the oxidized metal
surfaces form the semiconductor material.

Since this is apparently an LCD monitor (I thought it was like a Sony
Triniton flat-screen, not an LCD) the voltages are not likely to be high
enough for this to be an issue.

The references I used are proprietary.

If you are seriously interested then I recommend:
- search Google for references on "passive intermodulation" or "PIM"
- pick up a copy of the conference report by the European Space Agency:

Multipactor, RF and DC Corona and Passive Intermodulation in Space RF
Hardware", 4-6 September 2000, ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands.
