many thanks

Check the specs on the monitor...for satellite or cable, the resolution is 1080i (the 1366x768 spec on monitors), but many monitors are capable of much higher resolution.

Monitors are optimized for computer output, but I've done it before.

Don't forget audio - some monitors have speakers, some don't, you'll need to hear the programs, too.
