Hi sorry if this is a daft question but I don't wish to damage my monitor.



I bought a monitor that states it requires a 12v 2amp input. I can't find any such adaptors with those exact specifications in the UK



Most are below that i.e. 12V 595mA 7.14VA.



Would using an adaptor like that above be okay for the monitor or would it do it some damage.

Your monitor requires a supply voltage of 12.0v (direct current-DC) at a current of 2 amperes (2A, or 2000 milliamps- mA). The adaptor you cite is incapable of this. (595 mA

That is an excellent adapter for your needs.

One last thing.... It is vital that the 12 V polarity be correct or you may damage the monitor.

Thanks for your time. For your curiosity here is the product

Thanks again Steven.

As the previous poster pointed out this should be OK. Over 2 Amps is OK, under is not - you will be trying to pull more power out of the device than it can deliver.

no recommendations. I just found it on google. Make sure the plugs are correct.

That looks ideal for what you want. As mentioned, watch the polarity. Post a link to your monitor's details if you are unsure.

The 12Volt / 2.5 Amp adaptor would be very good. The monitor will draw what it needs. Just make sure that the polarity is connected properly. If not, the monitor will be instantly damaged!

Thanks guys for all your help. The Monitor is a Panoview 540. The closest I can find is the Panoview 632 here

and its power supply here

It looks the same as my 540 and has the same power input requirements.

Once again thanks

I know its not the done thing to answer your own posts but I have just come across this power supply which has the following specs Input voltage 100 - 240Vac Output 6 / 7.5 / 9 / 12Vdc Max current 2000mA

If someone could just verify it is okay, I'll be on my way and leave you all in peace ;o)

Cheers Steven.

I've used them a couple of times. However, they got my last order wrong. It was a battery short. Since then I've sent them a dozen emails, all of which have been ignored.
