Is there anyway to use a extra computer monitor (one that is not hooked to a computer) as a monitor for TV??

I would like to use it in my camper as a tv..but cant seem to find the right cable to connect to my coax connection. Please let me know if this is even possible???

This looks very promising if you have a home broadband network and a spare computer to go with that monitor.

No it wont work. Even with a coax connection you need a tv tuner and a standard monitor doesn't have one. Best bet is put the monitor on an old computer with a tv tuner card.
