Any powering issues with buying monitors in from USA to use in UK?

When I got my Tapco's (same with everybody else) you get 2 power leads, neither of them are english. One is USA and one is some fucking where else...suffice to say I use them as paper weights now and just used a 2 in 1 kettle job to both monitors and it works a treat. I bought these in the UK yes but due to the fact that the adapters included were far from UK standard Im guessing its the same package you get where ever you buy these from. I cant say the same for the Events but if you do go for the Tapco's you know what your up for :)
 
read the spec some electrical items can be powered worldwide ie 110 - 230v (my ps3) others are strictly either 110 v (usa) or 230v (europe)

like here in ireland if i want to buy a used 5150 from the states il need a step down tranformer to change 230v into 110v which is what the american 5150 would run on.

I think thats how it works any way hopefully someone more qualified can give a better explanation.
