You can buy one of those lame monitor fans. Or just direct a boxfan on it. Do you have anything above the monitor to hold in the heat? Like the monitor enclosure for your desk.

My old monitor used to get EXTREMELY hot as well. If you touched it, the plastic would feel kinda sticky, and you would get a nasty blister from it! It turned out to be a power problem. It also made a nasty buzzing nooise if you listened closely. It turned out to be a transformer problem or summin. Dunno.
Thats bad man. You should return you monitor. Just imho.
