You can watch TV on your monitor (I think the model number is actually PDP5025M)

There should be two connectors on the back of your TV: both coaxial to accept a cable end from your cable tv provider or cable box. If your cable box is not digital (analog), use the connector for analog; if digital use the one for digital.

My monitor doesn't have a cable-type (screw-threaded) connector to accept a cable end. I suspect that this monitor needs an external tuner. Is that right?

Are you certain? When I looked up the TV it indicated it was HDTV ready, which means that it should have a coax connector for digital signals. If not, I am sorry for my mis-information, but if it has an HDMI input or component video inputs, it should be able to display HDTV. I doubt this is simply a monitor for computers, and the naming strongly suggests it's a TV.

You need an external tuner. Your TV is just a monitor and you will need a Cable or Satalite box to be the tuner for it. You can not just plug a coax into it and change channels.
