I want to use my monitor as a tv

[casey10]

I want to be able to use a monitor as a tv but do I need to buy one with built in speakers?

Not only with speakers, it also need the proper TV connection, being it DVI, HDMI or RGB cable.

Does it need to have speakers if my cable box has speaker inputs?

 

[mrmaia]

Indeed.

So if you already have speakers, why are you worrying about built-in speakers? I'm talking about when you don't have any other audio device.

Ok so I dont have to buy a monitor with built in speakers right?

 

[mrmaia]

Right. You can use whatever audio out you have.
