Super tough question...
I want to run game consoles through my lcd screen.
This is a computer monitor
Is it possible?
How would I go about this?
Am I retarded?
(give me some credit, monitors aren't my thing)
Help?
That was more than one question.
Thanks guys!

Yes, it is possible.
You just need a TV Tuner (HD Tuner if you want to play games in HD and the console supports it) for the PC (unless you want/need to bypass the PC).

I was speaking of actually bypassing the computer in general.
However, could anyone name some good hdtuner cards?

Unless your LCD monitor has video signal inputs (some do), you'll either need a video-to-VGA upconverter box. These are expensive.
Getting a TV card for the PC, HD or not, will be cheaper and has many more fun things to do with.
