I just purchased Dells 24-inch wide screen 2405FPW LCD computer monitor, 1920x1200. This monitor is connected to the pc utlizing the DVI port. This monitor has Port(s) Total/ Connector Type: (1)15-pin D-sub /(1) DVI-D (this one is being utilized) /(1) S-video /(1) Composite /(1)Component video (Y Pb Pr) connectors / 4 x USB 2.0. I have a HD cable box connected to a HD plasma tv in the same room. I want to know if I can watch tv (HDTV or regular) on this monitor, and if so how do I connect it.
