On the back of of your computer in the video card (where you plug your usual monitor in), there should be another circular port that's usually black. It'll look like the port you plug your keyboard into. It's called an s-video port. There is also another s-video port on the back of the tv. You need to connect the two ports with an s-video cable, which you can pick up at stores like radioshack for about $5.
After connecting you need to switch the display in your video card properties, or control center. Switch the TV's input mode until you see the desktop on the tv.

Well the one comman solution is getting a graphic card with tv output .[end]
the another option is you buy single vga cord with x2 vga at one end( http://www.mamoz.no/MamozV3/BILDER/BEHANDLET/250-225/V/vga-12a-2.jpg ) you can plug one in your computer monitor with the second vga port you would need a vga to RCA adapter ( http://www.computercasesandcables.com/ccc/ ) thats is the image .
with this option you can actually have 2 monitors displaying same containt at a time and this will cost you about $4 or $10 maximum . while with many graphic cards there is only one display alive ( your monitor or tv ).
i hope this helps ;)

You need a video out on graphics card, and a special cable for both the tv and computer, so you need tv and computer that will work together.

I connect my laptop to my large screen Mitsubishi TV through a S-Video cable.
Most Tvs come equipped with this connector. If your desktop/laptop does not have one, you could get an adapter card.
