Can a TV be used as a PC monitor?

[Minipaint]

I have a 21" TV with a HDMI port. Would there be a problem using it as a monitor until i can afford a proper monitor?

It should work if your PC has a HDMI Port. If not, most TVs have VGA Ports also.

It should work, for gaming it is nice if your TV has some sort of a game mode other wise there may be a considerable amount of input lag from the mouse.
