    Standard TFT monitors are designed to connect to a PC only.

    You can buy small add-on boxes (£40 ish) that will allow connection of games consoles to a normal monitor, but obviously don't include a TV tuner.

    Probably better to consider a TFT TV, the price on them has come down considerably in the last few months.
