They can't detect the computer monitor but they can detect the TV receiver that may be in the monitor (some have them and some don't). The RF detector that is used tunes to the specific broadcast frequencies +/- 10.7 MHz (The typical IF frequency) to detect, not only your receiver but the channel it is tuned to. In the US these tuners are fairly well shielded but I would imagine that ones sold in GB are less shielded.
