Depends on what kind of output you have on your computer. If your computer video card has a small round circle, you most likely have S-Video out. You would need an S-Video cable. If your TV does not have the circle(S-Video) then you would need an S-Video to Composite (Yellow) connector. If your computer does not have the S-Video connection, you can get a scan converter. The most popular are made by Averkey and cost as little as about 50 bucks… You connect it to your computer and then connect it to your TV (cables come with the averykey). Note, words and pictures on your TV will be fuzzy and may look awful on your TV… If you have an LCD TV, your TV may have a video input for your computer..
