Asus VG248QE UK Power Cable

[John_17]

So I recently bought the monitor mentioned in the title (Asus VG248QE), however since I was going to another country I decided to buy it other there, and at the time I didn't think it would come with that countries power cord (Poland), so I would rather avoid using an adapter for long term and would just prefer to use power cord with UK plug.
The question is, where can I buy one that will be right for my monitor? I'm not sure if they're any different from one another, so I would rather ask here. I would prefer if the power cord was available for purchase on Amazon.

Does the end that plugs into the monitor look like the lead that plugs into your kettle? If so then you want an I.E.C to UK 3pin plug mains lead.

Weell to be honest, I never really looked up the plug from my kettle haha.
But the power cord looks like this:

The one furthest to the right.

That's a standard I.E.C mains lead, just get one that is fitted with the plug you require if you don't feel comfortable changing the plug yourself.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331263138241

£2 delivered , or just fit a plug with a 3 amp fuse yourself as suggested.

Ah, alright. I found these two on Amazon, is one better than the other? I can see one or two differences in the description, but no idea what impact they may have. Or they no impact and I should just get the cheaper one?

Apart from one being 2m and the other being 3m in length, they are the same thing and either will do.

Just buy the cheapest (which is why I linked a £2 one from eBay)

You're running a 60w monitor off it not a 1000w PSU so as long as its British kite stamped its fine

These will all come with 13a fuses fitted in the plug , swap for a 3a before you even use it.
