TV resolution will be much worse than a computer monitor (unless its a High Definition T.V., you know, like dem plasma things.) So, it won't look as nice on a T.V. When Praetor says hook it up to your (normal) T.V., he means having a video card that has an S-Video output (you know, like a camcorder does). And the TV has an S-Video input. So, for T.V. hook-up, S-Video on Video card, to S-Video on T.V. If that's what you would like (and can do with your T.V.), tell Radio Shack what you need and they will sell you an S-Video cable for probably $10 (and the S-Video adapter will come with the video card you could buy, if not, its probably 50 cents at Radio Shack).
Now, (look inside your computer case) is your current video card (where the monitor plug is) in an AGP slot (brown, darker color, shorter)? If yes, then you could buy an AGP video card for your multi-media and T.V. stuff. If the slot is white, that's a PCI slot (little bit longer, and lighter in color. If that's what you got, then you could buy a PCI video card. Here is a link to newegg, where you can get a POWERFUL ATI Radeon video card (128 MB DDR) for $55 with S-Video out, analog out, and Digital LCD screen out!
