I have BenQ E2200HD 22" LCD Monitor.
Will it work fine on my LCD ?????

E2200 is HD monitor u will get horrible resolution from that TV tuner pinnacle just introduced the HD tv tuner card but its for 18.5" LCD were it not supports the 1920 X 1080 ,, its supports the 1366 X 768

I want to buy it today...so please reply ?

did u already buy one, what is your budget.
You have quiet a few TV tuner cards which can play HD, but it costs more.

But anyhow the display will depend upon the transmission, if the digital or analog transmission is HD then only u will get high res. generally the transmission is quiet low here in India

I haven't seen anybody enjoying true HD (1920x1080) transmission here in India. So don't worry about that at this particular time.
