what is the different between computer minotor & TV

You can get a card for your computer that will tune tv stations and put output on the computer monitor but the computer monitor inputs are not directly compatible with a standard TV tuner.

1. Get a PC
2. Connect the PC to the monitor (this is of course obvious)
3. Install TV tuner on/inside PC

If you're serious about watching TV on your PC then I'd suggest getting a TV tuner with some sort of IR remote control. Otherwise you'd have to use your mouse to change channels.

The advantages of this set-up are:

- you can record shows to your hard disk

- you can watch TV in a small window while you work (this never works for me as the TV distracts me from actually doing work).

- you can save space

The disadvantages:

- a PC uses up far more electricity than a TV

- you'd actually need to boot to watch TV (real TVs are instant-on)

- after booting you'll still need to use the mouse to start the TV application

In one case you lean forward in the other case you lean back
