    It is OK but not as good as a dedicated lcd tv. This is because resolution has to be blown up and is not at the TFT screens native resolution. There are not as many colours and there are barely noticable lines going through the picture. It is watchable just not best quality. The vga boxes where really designed to be used the CRT monitors as when used with them the quality is the same as it would be with a dedicated televison. Depending on your circumstances it may be better to sell your lcd monitor and then purchase an LCD TV.
