you really need to provide more info on your hardware specs. but in general find your video card s-video out put or a/v out and plug into that, i'm going to naturally assume that you want to do dual monitor support so you're going to need to download the drivers of the support section of your video cards website. if you don't have a video card, get one. if you don't want to get one go to hack a day. com and there is more than likely a hack for turning a vga (or dvi depending on computer) into coaxial, s-video or a/v output

It depends which plugs your computer has. It can have S-video, DVI, and VGA. S-video and VGA are you best bet. Choose VGA if your TV is relatively new, choose S-video if you have a old TV, but new graphics card. The following links show you how each look like. DVI would be good if both your TV and computer are relatively new. If you have an onboard graphics card, VGA is probrably the choice.

I know the website is for refurbished laptops, but it does a good job explaining the ports.

Go to Yahoo and ask them. They've sent me several e-mails on how to do it - but I don't have the desire to have my computer hooked up to my TV - but Yahoo know's how to do it. Hope this helps.
