Is it possible to power the monitor with a non-native power cable?

Hello, I have an eMachines E220HQVb monitor with built-in power supply, but no power cable. If I connect a power cable from another monitor to it, is there a chance that it will burn out or does it matter which one to use?
I know it's a stupid question, I don't know much about the subject.

This is a completely standard IEC 320 C13 wire.
Any will do.

If I connect a power cable from another monitor to it, there are chances that it will burn out.

For maximum reinsurance, look at the current consumed by the monitor.
I recently looked at the power cable for a laptop ("Cheburashka", "Mickey Mouse", "club", etc.), with unpleasant surprise I found out that they are different inside, despite the same connector.
They write that inside there are wires with a "thinness" (it's hard to call it a cross section or thickness) up to 0.25 x 3. Moreover, it is not clear whether each of the three cores consists of three twisted wires of 0.25 each, or there are naturally only three wires of 0.25 each .
As a result, I found a cable where the maximum allowable current was either 1.4 or 1.5 A. At the same time, on an elderly, very economical laptop, the consumption was, in my opinion, 0.2 more.
In short, for laptops it is advised to take at least 3 x 0.75 (again,
Yes, I also found a cable, in which, according to reviews, the connector was bad and did not give normal contact. For someone it did not work at all, for one person he cut off the machine when connected.
