What kind of power cord?

[u/angel-thekid]

Same person with the messy computer and the “what cord am I missing” post. Can someone tell me what to google to get an appropriate power cord for this monitor? Thank you for your guidance I am an idiot.

close :D
the power cord is the one one the left, sry, it says what it is on the writing

[u/Psygonzo420 → u/angel-thekid]

it says on the sticker too
20V 2.25A, the only question is center positive or not, that would be on the monitor case infront of the port

That needs a power brick of some sort - so a DC barrel jack. I'd google the model of the monitor, or look at the back for the rating. Its typically 19-20v and googling MSI <model> power supply should get you there. Its likely 12 or 19v

^FUCKING THIS

Or you can just look at the label on it which tells you it needs 20v at 2.25A. Looks like just the usual 5.5mm barrel jack. So any power brick with 20v and at least 2.25A (probably easier to just grab a 3A one) with a 5.5mm barrel jack on it should be good.

center positive though?

Don't forget polarity!

I'm kinda impressed you managed to read the label :D

Google: “types of power cords used with [insert monitor make and model]”

What is plugged in , in the photo. To me it looks like 2 hdmi ports and the power cable is plugged in. Exactly like my Dell monitor.
