Running LCD at 14V instead of spec of 12V

Hi all.

Somehow I managed to lose my power adapter for the SyncMaster 150MP 15" LCD monitor (with TV tuner, etc). Monitor & manual say 12V, 3A input. I searched the Samsung parts sight, found some model #'s that would work, bought one on eBay. The guy ships the wrong one (different model # and its 14V)...we talk...he and I go look on the Samsung site and yes indeed, for the 150MP it lists several adpaters that are 12V and some that are 14V as compatible, including the one he shipped.

So I plug it in (I'm a risk taker) and it seems to work.

Question: Is this OK or not? I sure thought it would make a difference. Anyone suspect mid-to-long term damage if I keep running it off a 14V adapter?

Thanks in advance
Charlie

The obvious answer seems to be that it could damage your LCD, but call samsung just to make sure, websites could have false information.
