Yes you probably can if you get the right cables. Im not the one to tell you about this but there is a lot of people on here that use monitors for gaming for their consoles

Or just go to PC world and ask a member of staff there? Chances are as long as it has an HDMI port then it should be fine. But as Hurleh said. Make sure as you may need a few extra cables. But if you ask staff at PC world. They will show you what you would need.

Yeah, I'm sure you can just use a HDMI cable as I've done it before, I dunno what all the new monitors are like, I only had a shitty old one I used just to see if it would work..
