I'm planning to move to Australia and trying to get my electroinics in
order before the move. At the same time, I'm ready to replace my older
monitor with a flat panel display.
I recall reading "somewhere" that it's possible to buy monitors that
run on either 110 or 220, just like power supplies with the voltage
switch.
I'd very much appreciate learning what this feature is called (so I
know what to look for as part of price/feature comparisons). Thanks
for the attention!

Just use what you have now. Get a power converter (not inverter), aka
voltage converter. Just be sure to get one with the wattage capacity
that you need for all your 110V-only gear, or buy several small ones to
use with each device or with just some of them. Check if they come with
the plug adapters (so you can actually plug it in wherever you go).
I would probably only get those that had the step-up/step-down
transformer in them so the input/output waveforms were still sinusoidal.
Not because a computer PSU needs sinusoidal input but because I suspect
a stepped waveform could cause noise on the line or induced into nearby
electronics. An inline filter might get rid of some of the noise but
why bother trying to get rid of noise that didn't have to be there in
the first place?
