TFT as a TV?

[Keylow]

I am looking to get a new TV for my room, only 17" or so. However, looking at it, if I could somehow go about making a TFT into a TV, it would be cheaper and probably better quality too. Id like to use my Xbox 360 in HD too, which smaller cheap LCD TV's wont do. Now, what would I need and how would I go about gettign a TFT monitor to recieve signals from an ariel? Im not sure what equip,ment and such Ineed. I have the idea, just not a real clue how to go about it. Anyone know?
Also, if possible, a suggestion for a monitor may be good. It has to be 17" and be able to display 1280x720 and look good, fast resposne rates etc.

How about a DTT PCI card so you can watch freeview and also use the PC as a PVR!

I have seen a 17" monitor with 1280x720 native think it was about £125 from a competitor site - only has 1 VGA input though so you'll need to switch cables around.

So this will need to be connected to a PC? I was hoping there was a waay it didnt need a PC. Isnt a problem as I have a PC spare, but ill jsut have to spend a bit on PCI cards and such
Also, what is a DTT PCI card and what is PVR short for?

PVR is short for Personal Video Recording (I think). Basically just means you can tape stuff off the TV onto your PC.
