Your computer would have to have an RCA jack or a SVideo jack on it. Also your TV should have at least the Svideo connector on it. If your computer does not have those jacks you need to get a PC to TV converter box , because you just can't take the signal from a vga port and just hook it up to your TV. Check out the links to view the pictures.

Depends on the computer and TV. Best advice is check out the manufacturer website, if no luck then give them a call. I would suggest a USB cable - but it does depend on your computer.

If you go this route you'll prob'ly have to change your screen resolution. (it is easiest to set up another user account with the altered res)(TV's have a lower res than monitors). Your comp must have a sound/vid card that has outputs on them - preferably phono plugs - and your TV must have connections that you can plug the output from your sound and vid from your comp into.
