just wondered if it was possible to use a tft monitor as a tv set. one incoming coax signal from sky so dont need tuner ont he monitor.
has anyone any suggestions.

reason for asking 15 inch montor £99, 15 inch lcd tv £170.

The monitor wont have an RCA or Scart input, so youd have to buy something to convert the signal from your sky box to something the monitor can make sense of. Thats why the LCD TV costs more than the monitor, its got that built in.

Go nuts! :thumbsup:

I have an TFT monitor with Coax and 3 AV channels, so I can have TV, PS2/DVD and PC all off one. It ain't cheap (or at least mine wasn't), but you can do it.

Thats what I was trying to say. The cheap ones wont have the required inputs, thats whay theyre cheap.

Could always get a TV card.... But then you'd have to have your computer on all the time, so not the best solution.

Has evryone missed that link? External Tv tuner that your monitor plugs into, with a remote, no need for a computer. Ports to plug your dvd/vcr/console or whatever and you can plug in your pc as well.

cheers for that - the tuner just puts me at the same cost as a tv,so will have visit the bank manager.
