Yes, it's yet another electrical gadget question...
Our computer monitor runs on 19v (yes, nineteen) DC. Is that unusual? I was just wondering if it would be easy enough to find a new power lead once we get to Canada? It's an 18" LCD flat thing, so we'd like to bring it with us. Any thoughts, anyone?

1) A travel adaptor so you can plug your UK lead into the canadian socket
2) A lead with the canadian plug already on the end.
My monitor came with a UK lead & a 110V US/Can lead with it, no 19 Volts is not unusual LCD monitors consume way less energy hence the low voltage DC.
Have fun

Thanks for that, SpeC. I couldn't find anything saying that the input voltage could vary.
I don't think I was surprised that the monitor ran on as little as 19v, simply that 19 seems like a peculiar number. I'm not that keen on prime numbers.
