I want a 22″ lcd tv for my bedroom wall, it’s never going to be used with a pc just hooked up to an aerial point linked through to the Sky. Everywhere I look I keep seeing lcd tvs and lcd tv/monitors eg Samsung SM225MW. What on earth is the difference?!
Do you know that you can get a Butterfly Garden for Christmas and allow your kids to see the entire life process of a butterfly?

The Tv’s have a built in TV tuner. They also typically have several A/V inputs, like Coax, RCA, HDMI, RGB, etc.
The monitors by themselves, do not. They typically have a VGA input, and maybe an HDMI input. Some LCD Monitors may even have audio input if they have built-in speakers.
So basically, you cannot use an LCD monitor as a TV without additional hardware like a stand-alone tuner (Satellite or Cable), and the right input. HDMI would be a good video input into a monitor out of a tuner. But remember, if the monitor has no built in speakers, you’ll have to route the audio to an audio source, like an A/V receiver.
tv/monitor - can be used as tvand computer screen
lcd tv just tv
A monitor cannot transmit or receive!
an analouge tv tuner will be built into the tv, i have a samsung 19″inch monitor has scart sockets, hmdi sockets, pc connectivity, i run my freeview box thru it.
these days not much most TVs have all the standard computer connection and a TV tuner and monitors only have Computer connections ……….
