Power cable

So I come here with a potentially silly question although I'm always told there are no silly questions

Wasn't sure where to put so i have put in here and monitors so if not allowed please feel free to remove

I have an LG W2243s monitor which I was going to use as a secondary monitor but have misplaced the power cable, Can anyone advise what power cable would be suitable as I have a fair few kettle lead cables here which one of them must belong to this monitor but not sure which?

Any ideas welcome on a cable I can use thanks

Yes so long as it`s got the "kettle" socket that say 240~ its good to go.

That'll be the max rating of the lead.

The fuse should be 3A or 5A for a monitor I expect. Fuses are less important these days when we have RCDs and complex switching power supplies but they do sometimes fail and save equipment so it is wise to make sure the fuse protecting equipment is suitable rated.

Ok so maybe that lead and just use a 3amp fuse should suffice?
