What monitor is this?

...
    If memory serves, some UK x86 series was like this as
well... Amstrad >
 maybe? 
 Correct - 1512, an XT clone that powered off the monitor. Worst CGA screen
 I've ever seen......  
 Not like the Amstrad PC1640 with that 14-pin-DIN power connector? 
Exactly. IIRC the 1512 and 1640 are pretty similar machines (the '512' 
and '640' part of the model number is, of course, the amount of RAM it 
was sold with).

The PPC512/PPC640 ('Laptops' that are actually wider than a PDP11 panel) 
have a 14 pin DIN power connector too. It's possible to power one from 
the monitor off a PC1512 (and said laptops can produce an MDA or CGA 
video output on a DE9 connecotr). I don't know if anybody ever made use 
of this feature, though.
