    You can pick up tv tuners with remotes on ebay which could convert any monitor to a tv.

    Thats the first one that pops up on ebay. It looks faily high end, there are cheaper ones.
    It might be worth asking over on the electronics forum for advice before you buy.

    Am going to check, what is best/max ability of computer. Think - 19"/20" is enough. Don't know anything about - AOC Brand!
    Or is ACER better?
    only 10 Euro dearer.
