Can 3D PC monitors be used for TV viewing purpose without using a TV tuner card. Models like LG D2342P are claiming that TV can be viewed directly by connecting it to a set top box. However these would require a RCA video connector which the model doesnt have. Or will I require a RCA to D-sub/HDMI/DVI cable for TV viewing if I buy it?

HD set top boxes come with HDMI ports. If the monitor has HDMI, then it can be hooked directly, if not, then you can use HDMI-DVI cable that comes for around Rs. 300

I doubt that RCA to D-SUB or anything like that is available. So I don't think it is possible to hook the monitor to a SD Set top box, you'd need one with HD support
