Monitor problem

TheFlidKid

I am ordering a monitor off hardwareversand.de but the only problem is that it will more than likely come with a German plug so it won't work in an Irish socket here is the link to the monitor http://www.hardwareversand.de/56+cm+%2822%29+/82838/Special+item%3A+LG+22EA53VQ-P.article I was wondering if any of you knew what plug I need or adapter

LG Monitors use a external PSU usually but plugging a standard "kettle lead" 3 prong power plug into it should suit fine,

Is that like a laptop charger the way there is a box (I have no clue about electronics) like half way down the cable?

Yep pretty much, it may use a kettle lead or some other type of connector, but you should be able to buy a 3 pin one in a computer shop, better than messing with adaptors

Thanks a million Nick I've been looking at converter all morning trying to figure something out but that helped a lot, thanks again

I had a look a the manual for that monitor. Here's a screenshot of the power lead options. If it comes with the lead on the left then as Nick pointed out you can just get a three-pin kettle lead and plug it in the block. If it comes with the one on the right you'd need an adaptor alright.

Hopefully it comes with the one on the left, i think the adapters are only 4 quid in powercity anyway. Thanks mordeith
