I want to use my computer monitor to watch TV. But with the switch to digital cable (and converters) can you still do this with a tv tuner? or is it going to make it to where it does not work? I also do not want to have my computer all the way hooked up to this. I just want to be able to turn on my monitor and use the comcast box to change the channels.

I’m going to get an HDTV so I can watch TV but also use it as my computer monitor – and get rid of a lot of wasted space in my room. I’m not savvy with cables and connections – I’ll I know is that what I want to do is possible lol. Please help – and if you could explain the different options you give me (if there are) and what’s better I’d EXTREMELY appreciate it!!!
THANK YOU

I just got a new 23in wide screen monitor. On the reviews from newegg.com I’ve read that people use it as their TV as well. I have a relatively high understanding of computers, just not with TV cards or media players. So what do I need?

My monitor has way better picture quality than my TV. I doubted that it could be done but I thought I’d ask.

My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 510MP, it has a built in tv tuner but when ever i connect the cable and press the button to watch tv it wont work, but it works when i put in an antenna. Any help would be great.

I have 27″ flat screen lcd computer monitor. I already use it for my xbox 360 but i also want to use it as a tv. Its not connected to the computer. Is there some kind of cables i have to get for it? As in connect my cable into my Monitor so i may watch tv?
Thanks!

I have a flat screen monitor that also has the capability to be used as a tv in my office. Is there any way I can use the computer and watch tv at the same time…..almost like a “picture in picture” kind of thing?

i just got a wii and it will only work on the tv downstairs but my parents want to watch the TV. I’ve noticed that at the back of the wii console there is 2 usb sockets ? does that mean i can plug it inot my computer monitor though just usb?

or do i need some fancy thingy to make it work?

Do i need a special video card? i want to be able to watch my computer on my tv and the monitor as well without having to hook up one or other.

I’m trying to connect something to my computer monitor so that I can watch TV on it instead of on my television set (it would just make life much more easy). It’s a ViewSonic VX2235wm. It comes with DVI, VGA and speaker cables, but I don’t think it works with HDCP. Does anyone have any suggestions for what to buy? Or if it’s even possible?
