Using a UK adapter for monitors and other electronics is recommended for compatibility.

The setup on your LG 27GN750B should work with a USA to UK adapter. For your PC with an 850W PSU, you might need a C13 adapter if it doesn’t support high wattage. Generally, adapters are okay for high-watt devices as long as their PSUs match. You can connect a US power strip to a UK outlet using the appropriate adapter.
If the cable is detachable, it’s usually best to replace the entire cable. If not, remove the existing plug and install the correct one. Adapters work well for short-term needs but aren’t ideal for long-term use. Also, certain models have limited current capacity or fuses that might restrict high-power equipment.
UK sockets are very simple to connect, something I discovered when I was young—just flip the switch and go left, plug in and you're good.
Well in this case not much choice but use an adapter. Here since we sometimes get devices that originally have a EU plug they come with a non-removable adapter that firmly grips on the contacts so they don't risk wiggling and causing flaky contacts, not sure if that exists for UK->US.
230W seems quite high compared to the monitor's 48W, as noted on LG's website.
I examined the details, and it seems your display supports voltages ranging from 100-120V to 220-240V. You might confirm this by checking the power adapter. If correct, any converter should work. Regarding your computer, which PSU model do you have?
