Hi.. Yes it is possible to use your monitor as television. you just have to buy a device called "tv tuner box" it allows you to watch tv programs on your pc monitor. it is where you will connect your antenna or cable. it works w/o a pc

Hi justwakeup, yes it will work without a CPU. about the sound, you can connect your speaker system directly to the tv tuner box with remote control.

Hello there! From what I know is that Flat screen HDTV right now can be used as a computer monitor. I am not sure the other way around. I would want to know this as well too.

Hi aaronfyzeon, Yes, flat screen HDTV can be used as a computer monitor. you can connect it to your CPU using an "HDMI" or VGA cable.
