Watts in a resistive example like yours is Volts x Amps. I would have been able to much better answer this question a year ago so forgive me if I'm misremembering the specs but I'll answer since nobody else has. Two things that suggest to me this might be a bad idea:
He meant watts per meter, not minute – the strips can be cut and rejoined. As for the 5 Ah, no clue.
The circumference of a monitor is more than 1 m, so a charger of 3 A at least will be necessary for each. This is why I prefer higher-voltage strips where less current is required and higher resistance is tolerable. Anyway, the power is quite high and this could cause overheating problems.
