A tv has a tuner inside of it which gives it the ability to do channels and such where a monitor only takes a video signal from like a computer or whatever and mirrors the signal to the monitor so you can see on the screen. If you want a monitor to act as a TV then you would need to connected to a computer that has a TV tuner card built inside of it then you could use a remote control for that otherwise just go buy a TV Monitors have a tendency to have a VGA, HDMI, and or DVI connections where as TVs typically have HDMI, Coax for cable, and in some cases component video connections. some TVs will have a VGA connection and if that’s the case then you should be able to to connect a laptop to display onto your television. lastly most monitors will have a higher level of resolution but in order to get that you have to have a video card from whatever computer laptop or whatever you’re connecting to must have ability to transmit at that level. My advice would be if you really don’t know the answer go buy a TV with a vga/hdmi/coax connection on the back of it and you’ll be fine based on the type of questions you have asked here
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, monitors are different from TV's. A television has a tuner built in so it can receive broadcasts. A monitor has no such capability and is only useful when hooked up to a computer or other external device. All modern TV's can be hooked up and used as monitors with the aid of an HDMI cable. So moral of the story here is you can use a TV as a monitor but you cannot use a monitor as a TV.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.A monitor isn’t a tv. It is something you can connect your desktop to, or play Xbox/playstation/Nintendo switch. You can however use a Roku or amazon tv stick. Certain apps for the sticks can provide a limited amount of channels, but I would recommend using for a PC
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.When these are described as monitors, they are generally for use with computers. If no remote comes with the unit, there is no remote for the unit. However, there should be buttons on the side to navigate through the monitors menu.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is a computer monitor, not a tv.
