Not really: a TV has a different setup:

- it has a RF tuner, to bring the selected TV channel down from RF (radio frequency)

- It works with 60 times per second (for US) or 50 times per second (Europe) a new half-image (called interleafing) with the 2nd time the 2nd half.

While your monitor normally works with 60...100 total images per second, every time a whole picture.

Not in the last place also electrical interfacing is a problem: your DVD or VCR has Scart or RGB or HDMI connections. Most monitors only have VGA of DVI.

There are however convertors for this: one side Scart in and other side VGA of DVI. The only thing: these boxes are almost the same price as a second hand TV set.

With kind regards,

A CRT monitor yields better quality than an LCD monitor does?

As LCD display technology improves, it now beats CRT for clarity and image stability. CRT based computer monitors are no longer mass produced and existing CRT monitors are usually several years old. As they age, the image becomes softer so there will be few CRT displays that can compare with a modern LCD screen.


Buying A Computer Monitor?

Computer monitors are finally reaching heights of the paradigm change from the old CRT monitor to the new LCD monitor. It is still possible to buy a CRT monitor and possibly at a good price for under $100. But the best way to go today is to get a nice LCD monitor. It's possible to get a basically large-size LCD monitor of 22 to 24 inches for $150 or less. These would be found at computer store sales or from among the several online computer outlet stores. Make sure, at least, that a one-year is supplied.
