I use a NEXXTECH universal AC/DC adapter (set for 4.5v DC - it can output between 3v & 12v and allows the polarity of the pin to be changed). It's a 110v model only, but check locally as they make make a 220-240v version.
On the SD card, you must know someone with a PC - hopefully.
On the monitor, perhaps the monitor can't scan down low enough to deisplay the signal. I use an LCD monitor with this problem and I have to use THIS core instead:
