Do all LCD monitors accept S-Video input?

[Terencek]

Do all LCD monitors accept S-Video input? I ask what could be a very simple question as I'm thinking of replacing my separate LCD TV which doubles as a monitor, with a standalone monitor.

So would a standalone monitor accept video input from my DVD player, which has S-Video output? Or indeed, would it accept video input direct from my DSTV decoder through, presumably, an RCA socket? (In both cases I do not listen to audio through my TV, but rather straight off the DVD player or decoder into an amplifier).

Bottom line: unless you need to watch free-to-air TV through an actual TV tuner, can you therefore get by without having a separate TV, just using the LCD computer monitor driven directly by a DVD player and/or a decoder?

No, the majority don't as far as I'm aware.

Only ever seen s-video on high end ones where people need like every input under the sun.

How about simple RCA video-in socket then, to take video input straight from a DVD player (or DSTV decoder)?

Nope, not common.
