Use a monitor as a TV?
I am looking to update the TV in my home office. Right now I have an old analogue TV hooked to cable TV. It sits in an entertainment center and I have 25.5 inches of width to work with. The sound is runs through my amplifier to the stereo speakers. I never use the speakers on the TV.
My thought is to skip buying a TV with a built in tuner and speakers, just get a computer monitor. Monitors usually have thin bezels so the screen can be bigger and still fit in the space. The cable box outputs both component and HDMI. My stereo does not do HDMI so I will have to go with component connections. Audio out to the stereo and the component video to the monitor.
My real question is am I missing something? Will this setup work and provide me 1080P HD video? The cable box can output full 1080P so I want a monitor that can display it properly.
Any suggestions on a good brand of monitor for this?
