US Dell 2001FP required voltage
Hi,
I'm having a 2001FP LCD screen shipped over from the US to Belgium. I'm uncertain of the voltage it needs. On your website is states
Voltage Required: 90 to 264 VAC.
In Belgium we use 230V AC but does this mean I can just plug in my screen over here or do I need a voltage converter? If I should need one, which one should I buy? The screen has a 90W power consumption which is quite alot...
I had already found the 2001FP specs
here but I still can't figure it out. This is how I interpret these numbers. There are 2 versions of this monitor: a US version which assumes anything you plug in it is 110V and a European version which takes 230V. If this were true, I'd have to buy a seperate step down transformer to convert the 230V comming out of my wall socket to 110V before plugging it into my new monitor.
Since the monitor is rated 90W, I'd better not be using one of those cheap 50W voltage converters some are offering on Ebay, right?
Can somebody from Dell's tech staff comment on that?
