Using a monitor for sky tv output

[Banzai_Joe]

Hi all,

putting a sky box in our bedroom, and as i have plenty of monitors to hand i was wondering if there is a specific cable or device that will allow the connection of a skybox (scart) to a standard tft monitor (vga).

I know there are scart>vga cables but some state that they won't work with pc monitors due to difference in horizontal scan rate.

I may even put a hd box in there (hdmi). Would a pc monitor with hdmi port work? Because i know some monitors with hdmi ports are only for tv connection and not really for pc connection. Weird!

Any advice please?

I have tried virgin media box plugged into my Iiyama E2403WS and Hyundai W240D and they seem to work brilliantly if that helps...
I haven't tried Scart to VGA however, as it seems a bit hopeless as their frequency are different...
