Can I use an old TV as a monitor?

[i know nothing]

I've more or less completed a new build using a MSI NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1060 Graphics Card.

I was right in the middle of moving house and I have no idea when I will get my stuff with all that's going on. I have pretty much everything I need for my new build to get it going except a monitor, which is coming...

I have an old Sharp TV. Can I use a HDMI cable to connect the two?

I just want to get my new build all up and running. OS, drivers, software installed, that sort of thing. But... I don't want to damage my new build by being impatient!

It appears I can:- https://www.pcworld.com/article/292...uter-monitor-everything-you-need-to-know.html

Thanks Gray.

I won't be using it for gaming, but I will want sound, so useful tip for that thanks.
