You can either go with first responder's answer, or get one of the new LCD monitors which can be used directly -- they have a variety of inputs, including computer video. I have an Akai set which would work; it is attached to an HDTV decoder via one set of inputs (not the same set that a computer would use).

1- If your graphic card (VGA) has TV OUT you can connect your PC to your TV via a cable (Composite or S, depends on your output).
2- If your VGA doesn't have TV OUT, you can use a TV Tuner device. It is an external and old fashioned device.
-Connect your PC to TV and turn it on, some computers can detect the TV at the first, but for others you have to set it with the help of your VGA driver (in Windows or other OSs).

You can do it with a graphics card that a TV-Out connector - problem is the image will be horrible and you won't be able to read most things. It's fine for watching videos, but nothing beyond that.
