Samsung LCD 19" power supply

[godsownman]

Hi guys,

I know this question may be a little out of place here but I need some help.

Samsung sells their 19" montors (Samsung 920BW ) monitors with a in-box power supply cable that is a 15 amp power supply ( The big one we use for water heaters).

The wall socket that I have is a 5 amp power supply socket( small ordinary one) .

What will be the implications if I buy a convertor and convert the 15 amp plug to 5 amp.

Can someone please explain this concept to me.


Also is it good if I connect the monitor at the back of the cabinet in the socket provided( SMPS socket ) , but for this I will have to purchase the cable. Keep in mind samsung gave a 15 amp plug ( and thats the reason I ask).

Is the direct to the wall option better or the second one.

Please give me your views. Thanks.

An LCD consumes far less power tha CRTs. A 19" one consumes only 30~32W. That is less than a tube light. So no problem if u convert the adapter from 15amp type to 5amp.
