How high is too high (voltage wise) for a monitor.

I have a circus charlie cab. Works great can't complain. I was doing some voltage checks and this cab has a Hanatrax 900E 19" monitor in it. I used my meter and did a power voltage check on the monitor and it's receiving 125v from the ISO.

Is that too high? I know(according to the manual) that its tolerance is 130v. Yet on the certificate paper on the monitor it was stamped with a 117v.

Now my voltage going to the switching powersupply is ok, I get 106v. which is just right for the switcher as it's maximum is 110v.

But I don't know why it's so high(maybe it should be) on the monitor.

NOTE, I took this voltage reading from the plug, not from any point on the monitor itself. Maybe it gets knocked down quite a bit when it's hooked to the monitor.

Any thoughts? Again, machines working fine, but if it's stressing the monitor and I can prevent it, let me know. Thanks!!
