Can I hook my computer monitor up for a tv?

I have a 16 inch computer monitor that i want to use as a tv. Is there any way i can do it? Any special cables i need? Is it even possible? Thanks

You will need a TV tuner card and a signal input.
I feel this would cost the same or more than a small screen TV.
Ask at your local computer supply store. You should have said what brand computer you have, some will not accept a TV card.

You can use a TV Tuner card in your Computer to watch TV on your monitor while connected. Other than that, your Monitor doesn't have a built in tuner, so you wouldn't be able to tune to any channels.
