As I understand it (Larry?), the UL approval is on the power supply as a whole, intact. As soon as you have cut the cord, it is not intact. I am erring on the side of caution in never cutting a cord, but you could be right. It's just likely that this issue would be decided in a court of law at great expense to you if someone does not agree with you or decides that maybe you did someting wrong when you cut the cord.
As for the 18-2 mentioned above, I have seen LCD power supplies with two conductors, but I have also seen them with five or six.
Just remember that any time you modify anything, especially a molded cord, you risk voiding at least the warranty. Whether you did or not is up to the repair station if it ever needs work, or the manufacturer, or the court.

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
