You want to look for a TV with a PC input. I have a huge flat screen sony that comes with a PC input which we use to watch iplayer, etc.

If you don't already have one, you will also need a cable (they used to come with old monitors but recently I have noticed that the cables are hard wired into the back of monitors).

thanks for the quick reply, getting alittle cofussed as when i am looking in the argos book cannot see any mentioning pc input, would they be using another word. Sorry as you can see i have not got a clue

I wasn't able to find anything on Argos's website but I found this
TV/Monitor on Comet's website

I'm not suggesting buy it, it's just an idea on what to look for

My b/f has an LG one, he mostly uses it as his PC monitor, but he
recently hooked it up to a digital aerial and it worked Most of the
PC /Monitors have freeview on them, not sure if that is any use to you

Could be described as VGA or possibly 15 pin D-sub. That's for the analogue style of PC input.

The digital style of computer input may be described as DVI.

With regards to the cable required you will be able to get one from your local independent computer shop for a few pounds.

Have a look on ebuyer.com they are very good, what price and size are you hoping for as I will have a look if you want.

Don't forget - it's important to find out what connection is on the back of your graphics card.

This connection depends on what TV you can buy! What graphics card does your son have?

I have found an amazing TV at an amazing price!

Its a Samsung with a 3 year warranty and has all 3 PC connections so:

VGA>VGA
HDMI>HDMI
DVI>DVI

Basically any PC could be plugged in + It is stunning to look at.

I can't see anything better and I can personally vouch for the company and I am many other will aswell.

Hope this is what you are looking for.
