What might be the fault with the monitor ? will it be risky for the life of the monitor if i continue using it ? once it heats up, it behaves perfectly normal.

Its static discharge which happens with monitors & tv's using CRT's..
Read the following article for more info:

And yes, you absolutely dont have to worry regarding that cracking sound...Its normal & doesnt damage anything inside your Monitor...
You just gotta bear with it!
Else, you can replace it with a LCD Monitor...

my guess is your using a CRT (old TV style display) correct me if i'm wrong. there is nothing wrong with your monitor. Some old TVs and monitors do not do well to dispers the static electricity that builds up while in use.
you can see the level of static by (if your a guy) putting a hairy hand or arm near and watch and feel as the hairs rise as they get nearer the display (the screen) you can even try this with a piece of paper a blank piece of paper will stick to the display when on due to the static, but will drop off the minute all the static has gone.
just a little anomoly in realy old CRT displays, mind you the new ones do the same but not at the same level of static.
i hope this helps a little.
there could be something else wrong, but i'm guessing not as the display seems to be working normally besides the loud crackling noise when switched off. how old is the monitor? if under three years old and you have used it around 8 hours or less a day then it should be fine to keep using it for a year or so longer ( no guarantees) but any older or you have used it for longer then there is then slight chance it is on its way out and it's time to consider getting a new one.
in the uk see www.dabs.com for a list of all available pc and home entertainment hardware.
it's where i get my hardware from when i need it, hell i've built a mediacentre (windows VISTA) capable PC by selecting the components i want in my system.
good luck with solving your potential problem. but as i said brobably nothing to worry about, but keep a fire extinguisher handy just in case (always best practice when using any electrical appliance and always use surge protected plugs and sockets where you can)

Thats normal. I'm going to assume you have an old style CRT monitor which is what i use. The old style monitors use alot of and store alot of power when they are turned on so that crackling noise you hear is the sound of your monitor power up or in other words charging its self. It's perfectly normal all CRT monitors do it to, infact alot of projection tv's do it also.

Not a big issue. PC Monitors (CRTs) work on very high voltages and the resulting static fields are the source of these crackling sound

i dont know how to say in english..it's the "traful de linii" this makes the high Voltage for your monitor to ecpand the electron beam over the screen through the deflecting "bobina" sorry not american :D:D:D:D
YOUR MONITOR WILL SOON PASS OUT...CONSIDER GETTING A NEW ONE...GO FOR A LCD!!!!
sorry for my enhlish...good luck!!!

It might be the static electricity produced when the computer is switched on.

That is a static Discharge
Monitors Do that, except for LCD screens
