Can a PC monitor work without a tower?

Hello, I'm going to buy a Predator PC monitor, but I don't know if it will work until I get the tower, as I want to invest in a tower later.

Thank you for your response.

    Hello

    Well no, the screen is not a computer, it's a peripheral... It's the computer that does everything... So yes, if it's to browse the web, get yourself a cheap little tower...

      Sure, but for example if I want a tour to play R6, PUBG or Fortnite, is it expensive or not, about how much please?

      Well, first of all, to run a screen like that, it's even 1500 / 2000 € for the tower if you think about it...

      Why buy a screen at that price when a Full HD 24" for 100 € does the job?

      Well, it's just that I can't find one like that, and I thought we could use it without a turn, basically without playing with it, but actually no???

      Well no... A screen displays images, nothing more...

    Good evening,

    A screen is simple; it displays what you connect to it from behind... in the format and definitions specified in the characteristics of that screen...

    You must at least know the brand and model of that screen... The interface ports used for that screen...

    But to watch TV, you need to connect a TV receiver... otherwise, it won't work, same goes for the PS4 or others... The screen does not create the image it displays.

      Well, actually it's this Acer Predator XB273GPbmiiprzx gaming monitor, but I just want to use it for browsing the internet or things like that, not for gaming. I know that for gaming, you need a tower, but can I use it without gaming or not?
      I will buy a tower later

      Thank you for your response

    A screen alone cannot connect you to the internet... you need a computer in front of it that is connected...

    It can't even do addition.

      Oh no, so that means that if I buy the screen, I can't use it until I have the tower????

      Thank you for your reply, it's really nice of you to respond.

      And do you think there are tours that aren't too expensive because there are some that really cost a lot?
