I recently bought a pc monitor, and it came with no power adapter, just with a c13 female connector.
What does it mean? Do I have to connect it directly to the power with a male c13 connector? I believe in that because in the back of the monitor it says "POWER: 100-240V~ 50/60Hz 1.5A" , so I think the power adapter can be inside the monitor.
Thanks.

Yes, I did a search. I'm not much into electronics. Moreover, I don't speak english as a first language so I didn't undestood your answer. Could you please say it as it was for a noob? Thanks – spund3 – 2017-02-16T21:26:28.187
You need a very common cable to connect your Screen to the power outlet in your house. Nothing more. – Marcus Müller – 2017-02-16T21:38:16.920
The OP said it was a female C13 connector on the monitor. All of the monitors I see have male C13, so if that's correct (doubtful), then it definitely warrants the question. spund3: In case there's any confusion, @Tom's picture shows a cord with a female C13. If it looks like it will fit in your monitor, then that's all you need. – GuitarPicker – 2017-02-16T21:41:38.070
@GuitarPicker I presume the OP means male on the monitor - if you look at the shell rather than the pins it is easy to think that the male connector is called a female connector. – Tom Carpenter – 2017-02-16T21:47:41.947
1@spund3 buy a cable that fits the hole (like the one pictured), and plug it in to a power socket on your wall. – Tom Carpenter – 2017-02-16T21:48:16.637
It worked, no need of anything more than a c13 wire. – spund3 – 2017-02-16T21:50:31.177
