Old screens used to blast a stream of electrons at little pixels to light them up and steered that stream using electromagnets in the side. If you put a magnet beside it you could permanently magnetize part of the screen which pushed the beam off target
Most modern screens use lots of tiny wires that carry tiny electrical signals to tiny crystals that twist when electrified, we use these little crystals to filter the light coming up from the backlight. Little crystals aren’t magnetic, they don’t care what you do
Higher end screens like OLED use little blobs that glow when electricity is applied to them and lots of tiny wires running to all the blobs and they turn the blobs on and off as needed. Again, no magnetic things in the system so nothing cares about magnets in the phone or speaker or in your hand.
