1. yeah you can do this and it will work fine. I do it with my spare pc
2. The presence and growth of LCD television certainly has its roots in the development and success of LCD computer monitors, and, thus share a great deal of characteristics with them. Most LCD televisions have VGA (PC Monitor) input connections that allow them to be used as a computer monitor. However, if your main purpose is to use an LCD display as computer monitor, the additional cost of the features of an LCD television, such as a built-in analog or HDTV tuner, analog AV and HDMI inputs, and other features needed for television-like performance, may be extra things you may not need.
3. just buy a tv tuner card put it in ur pc and life is easy again
4. You can get Video to VGA converters. Some external TV tuner cards also support VGA monitors
