Question

Any way to connect computer monitor to chromecast/roku?

by Apr 8, 2014 11:15AM PDT

I have a Dell HD computer monitor (23") that has two usb ports, a VGA port, and DVI-I port. I would like to use the monitor as a television as well as using it to get streaming data from chromecast or roku (like the roku stick). I know I need an external TV tuner, but is there a tuner out there that would allow me to stream video via chromecast or another streaming tv device? Or should I just get a cheap TV and save myself the hassle? Thanks!

Sorry, I'm new to this forum. It is a Dell P2314Ht. I don't know if it has HDCP. How do I check?

And head to your monitor's home/support page. I'm in a rush this AM so I'll let you do the work.
