I just purchased an LG 24M38H LED monitor. It comes with a DC power
adapter similar to this one:

The problem that I am having is that the cable is only approx. 4 ft
long. So, I am trying to find an extension cord but I am not having
much luck with the local electronics store.

Is there a site online that specializes in the kind of extension cord
that I need? I don't have a caliper but it looks to me that the plug is
roughly 5-6 mm in diameter.

Thanks.

If it's both mobile and wireless, I woudl think they could get
together somehow, but monoprice.com is one of the two best places for
cables. There are some they don't have, but many they do.


Yes, I have already tried Monoprice.com. Unless I don't know how to
search their site, they do not have what I am looking for...


Well you could use an AC extension cord.


Everyone has swayed me that this is a better idea, but I feel obliged
for the record to say that, when an Acer laptop had a bad power jack,
I was able to buy one from Amazon. I think I bought another size for
another reason too. So you'd just have to match the plug and use
some speaker wire and tape, or silicon(e) tape and you'd have an
extension cord.


And also an unaccounted-for voltage drop ...
