It's fried.  Go buy a new one.  Seriously.  :(

a "burning smell" generally means that something is burning.

1) unplug from wall

2) ???   :dunno:

3) go buy a new monitor.

One of the monitors at home stopped working one day while my mom was using it.  There was no burning smell, but it just wouldn't turn on.  I never did figure out exactly what was wrong with it.  Luckily, it was still within warranty, so we were able to return it for another one.

I blew out an old crt monitor once by plugging it into a non-grounded, non-surge protected outlet.  I heard a pop and that was the end of it.

although, I did catch a blender on fire once trying to crush ice!
