It might b eable to, or at least can be slightly re-built to run on
120V, by someone that knows what they are doing.- Vote on answer

It may have an internal 120/240 jumper. Be sure to relabel the voltage if you do this.

Study the label on the back very carefully. If it has a specification on it like "90-240 V 50/60 Hz", then all you should need is a different power cord (mains lead) for a US socket. If, instead, the specification says something like "110-120 V / 220-240 V AC" then there is probably a switch or jumper that needs to be adjusted to make it work. If it's a switch, sometimes it's accessible from the back panel, and is usually labeled "110" and "220". If it's a jumper, you'll have to open the monitor to see it. You might also try dell.com or dell.co.uk and look at the specifications for _exactly_ your model number.
A local TV shop may be able to help. They should know how to reconfigure the power supply if it needs it, and they should have a variable transformer that they can set to 120 V to test with.
