What is the proper name of the power cord that's sometimes
used when AC power for the monitor is taken from the
computer's PSU box ? Power goes into the PSU via a male
3-pin connector, and the monitor is supplied via a female
counterpart. For that matter, what's the name of this type
of power connector with three flat pins, male or female ?

IEC 320 like this <http://www.olson.co.uk/iec_select.htm>?

Here in the UK they are sometimes referred to as 'Euro plugs' or 'kettle
plugs'.

Some call that type of lead by, hot-cold IEC cable, due to the F-M but
it's a long time since I heard that.

or

IEC Plug and Socket Cord
Moulded, high quality, IEC-320 type C13 plug to type C14 socket cable
assembly.

or

power extension cable

It's the C13 plug / C14 skt.

Euro leads / plugs, but not a kettle plug, that is IEC F to well a plug
like -

Hot Condition Euro Line Socket
IEC-320 C15: a rewireable mains hot condition power line socket with
cord grip and strain relief, commonly referred to as a kettle plug, that
mates with IEC-320 C16 plugs. Rated 10A 250Vac

This usually has a cutout in the socket, it's hard to see

unlike the images on
http://www.olson.co.uk/iec_select.htm
a better C16 diagram is
