First you have to look on the back of the monitor. If it says "Multiscan" near the top, then you can use it on a PC. I use a Mac monitor on my pc, and all you need is a dongle mentioned above.

There used to be a company called Griffon Technologies in Nashvile, TN that made adapters for that. I sold a guy an NEC monitor and purchased the adapter there for his Mac. It works in reverse as well. No idea if they are still there though!
