Nope a bog standard IEC 'kettle' style lead but with a SCHUKO/French 7/7 plug on the other end, this has either top and bottom contacts for earth or a hole for an earth pin that sticks out of the socket.
This was plugged into a travel adaptor which only made contact with the live/neutral pins ONLY.
Naturally replaced with a UK lead which it should have been in the first place esp. given that the monitor would have been supplied by the company I believe on a HP contract (all the monitors and PC's are HP).
