Is 100 watt a lot? (Monitor) Does £1.80 a month sound right?

10 hours of use will cost you 12p or so.

There are 720hrs in a (30-day) month. Your 100W device, assuming that it's on full-power 100W 24/7 will therefore use 72KWh.

At 12p per KWh this is £8.62.

It may be slightly more or less depending on your electricity tariff, but 12p / KWh isn't too far off typical.

As if that's real cheap I guess I don't have to worry about this monitor not being LED backlit.
