Other than checking for obvious shorts and opens, what's a good way to
check a (safely discharged) capacitor for such problems?

I do have one monitor. I haven't tried to
power it up, but written on the
case is the word "DIM", presumably identifying a failure in the monitor
somewhere. I've never repaired monitors, so I'm not sure what a dim image
is suppose to indicate. Failing HV drive circuitry?
Power supply problems more likely than anything else. Maybe caused by weak
capacitors, as those will age more than any other part. Other failure modes
will all (mostly) cause an outright failure.
