Hi friends,

Recently I purchased BENQ gw2283 22 inches monitor and it came with bigger 3 pin 16 amp plug. I guess 6 amp plug should be sufficient.

I can see below ratings at back of monitor.
100-240V 50-60Hz 1.60 Amp
Output -25W

Please suggest if it's ok to purchase a new cable with 6 amp power cable. Also please share the link of the product if already tried. Thanks

Yes you can use 6Amp with it. It would be preferable if you use an adapter like this instead of changing wiring.
