Hello everyone,
I searched a bit on the forum and didn't find any posts regarding my exact request, which is as follows:
Is it possible to connect a computer monitor to a TV socket (or how to ultimately turn your computer monitor into a TV)?
Thank you in advance for your help

You get a TNT tuner, that should do the trick :)) The PC screen doesn't have a tuner as explained by ToTo86 :)

You do not connect a computer monitor to a TV socket, and which socket is that anyway?
If you want to watch TV on your computer, the best option is to buy a TV tuner card or box (with TNT if possible) for your computer, and you will even be able to record shows on your hard drive. -
I'm talking about a classic TV socket like this one: http://boutique.chamrion.fr/images/Image/alombard/alb73311.jpg
Otherwise, I know I can use my PC to receive television, but what I'm interested in is knowing if there is, for example, some kind of adapter to directly connect a PC screen to a socket like the one shown above or some kind of box that would allow for the connection between the two without going through a PC.-
Good evening, no, that's not possible. A PC screen is just a simple screen, a TV is a screen + tuner(s). The socket you are showing is the antenna input that connects to the TV tuner; there isn't one in a PC screen!! However (there's always a workaround!) you can use a VCR as a tuner, and with this accessory: http://www.conrad.fr/convertisseur_video_vers_vga_p_18780_18853_540071_540072_FAS it will be easy to output a signal from the VCR's SCART and send it to the screen!
- One shouldn't talk nonsense either; a computer screen as it is connected to an antenna socket!!?? Obviously, that's not possible!! And where do you connect the antenna cable to the screen? And what will it be used for? Now, if you add another device, it's still feasible! A computer monitor, whether tube or flat = like a video monitor = no tuner! It can have 50 sockets at the back; if it doesn't have a tuner, you won't get anything from an antenna cable!!! It's just like connecting a satellite dish directly to your TV! Same principle!

Hello,
Of course it's possible, I personally do it. Is your TV suitable for PC? If so, you just need to take your CPU and get the power cable (power - PC power supply) and the cable connecting the CPU to your computer screen, which you plug into the TV.
