Will a monitor bought in the UK work in Switzerland


Will a monitor bought in the UK work in Switzerland?
I'm going to be relocating to Switzerland and was going to buy some new hardware. Should I get it in the UK and just use an adaptor plug, or are there issues with voltage and what have you? Thanks for the feedback. Does that mean I could actually just screw on new plugs to my cables, or are European plugs not designed to do that in the same way as British ones?

It will work fine in Switzerland - you can get a cable with a continental plug and then you won't have to use an adaptor. The monitor should have a computer style power input (into which you would plug your power cable). In Switzerland you'd pick up a cable that would completely replace the one that came with your UK monitor and would have that same computer style end along with the proper Swiss-style plug.
