If your TV doesn't have a VGA or DVI
input that matches an output on your
computer, you will need to use
composite video or S-video cables.

If your computer doesn't have any of
these TV-compatible outputs, you may
need to install a new video card that
has
the right connection.

VGA, DVI, or component video cables
provide the sharpest displays. Composite
video and S-video connections result in
displays that are not as sharp...
