Unless the TFT monitor has some sort of video input(unlikely) then you will have to buy a LCD Tv, unless the pc that the monitor is connected to has a video input then it could be possible.

You could add a TV card and use the video input on that.
DSCaler is a popular choice as a software solution. The TV card could be one of many cheapo ones (30 quid) and you get very good results. (No scart sockets though, just S-video)
Or you could use a Pro-V tuner box which doesn't need a PC, these cost around 80 pounds.

Yes there is a very easy way.

You need to buy this:

You can have it going through your PC, but I just bypassed that and had it going straight to my monitor. Use S-video, as the composite is crap.
