[comp.misc] Running a 110V/60Hz monochrome monitor from 110V/50Hz supply

I am planning to buy a 110V, 60Hz/220V, 50Hz Personal computer.
Most of the mail order companies in the US will sell dual voltage system, but
only 110V/60Hz Monochrome monitor (They would sell a 110V/220V color monitor).
I am wondering if i could step down a 220V, 50Hz supply and use this monitor.
More precisely, my question is : does supply (line) frequency matter in a 
monitor used with a personal computer or it vidoe card generates its own signal
frequency in which case i can easily get by with 110V/50Hz by stepping down 
the 220V supply. 


    thanks for your reply.
