It the monitor is in it’s original manufacturer’s packaging (foam and box), it should be fine. That packaging is designed for shipping from the (probably overseas) manufacturer to distributor to store/website to end user. That’s more vibration/banging/etc that you are likely to see in aircraft checked luggage.
