AW3423DW, right angle power cable?
I am looking for a right angle power cord I can purchase that would be safe to use with this monitor. Since there is not a lot of space between a piece of furniture and the outlet. I am unsure what kind of power cord can be used as so far I can only find power cords that are rated at 125 volt ac but the monitor is 240 volt ac so I am not sure if that is safe to use with this monitor or if I need to find something different. If anyone has suggestions of the right power cord that would be greatly appreciated.
This is one I found on Amazon so far that would fit my needs as long as it would be safe to use on this monitor.

The power cable from your link 10A, could handle the monitor well. I provided links to cables that can handle the maximum power from electrical outlet for residential, which is 15A.
They are all compatible to handle a small 200w monitor.

If the wall outlet is in tight space and you are planning to spend on electrical cord, why not use that spending for electronic protection station that can solve the problem and giving you more power access to the whole computer electronics setup. Example, this surge protector with angle power plug.

I do appreciate the suggestion. But I already have a surge protector for the rest of my setup. I just need to find a right angle power cord that can be used with this monitor.

You can check this 3ft power cord or this 10ft power cord. It's made by well known brand for heavy duty electrical applications.

Those are similar to the ones I found, and they are also 125 volts. My main concern was ensuring it would be safe to use with my monitor and able to draw enough power without causing damage. However, I did see on the spec page that the input range is 100-240 volts, so I'm guessing it would be okay to use, though I'm not 100% sure.

If you live in North America the power grid is 120 VAC for regular household receptacles.
They would be NEMA 5-15P male plug.
The input voltage to the monitor is 100 VAC to 240 VAC/50 Hz or 60 Hz + 3 Hz/3 A
(typical)
Make sure the power cable is UL approved, or CSA approved if used in Canada.

@Vanadiel I live in north America. I do not know much about electrical wiring so I initially was unsure if the right angle power cable I found would be safe to use for the device. I did not want to risk damaging the monitor.
