I was gifted a functional monitor (claimed) that was missing its power cable, and I am not entirely sure what the key elements are to look for in a replacement; and I'm assuming it doesn't like the wrong thing to be plugged in.
It is an Asus model no VZ279 version no VZ279HE.
Lists the power as 19v (dc) 1.75A
What is the 1.75A part and is it important?

A == Amps.
And it matters insomuch as the replacement power supply has to supply at least that many amps at the given voltage.
More amps do not hurt anything.
This purports to be a replacement power supply for your monitor:

Amazon has several other supplies available that all advertise that they will work with your monitor. It seems like a common monitor input spec.

The 1.75A at I think 20V is the minimum required to power the monitor, you can get a fitting adapter that's much more powerful without problem as the power adapter won't send more power than the device needs.
Although don't get them put of China, those are dangerous.

Thanks! That explains why so many monitors get listed on the various cables..

Yep, it's totally safe to get a brick more powerful than the minimum specs😅

As long as the voltage is correct.
