Is it possible to connect a monitor and computer via redpower bundled cable?

I know how to use the monitor if it's attached directly to the computer, but what about having a remote monitor? Maybe rednet….if bundled cables are not possible?

I promise I have searched and tried to figure this out on my own over the past week. I'm assuming since I can't find anything that it probably is NOT possible but I figured I might as well go ahead and ask just in case.

Thanks in advance for any help

No, you MUST have a computer connected to your monitor. There may be some peripherals that might help you, but I don't know of them. Check in that section, and it might be there.

You can hide the computer attached to it and just communicate with it via rednet, though.

Use peripheral cables for this purpose.
