I wouldn't bet on it that the monitor will switch by itself. (it might be as well as a jumper inside of the monitor which makes it work on 220)
The adapter needs to be able to deliver (55/110) *1000 = 500mA.

-edit- ops, I meant (55/230)*1000 = 239,13mA

The worst thing that will happen is it won't switch on due to insufficient voltage ... BUT I bet it works just fine  :-)
You're right, I was thinking the wrong way.

Nope, there have been a long time 110V/230V switches for PC PSU's (maybe still). One can destroy a PSU with switching it wrongly.
