The first step is to look at the back of your computer and see what kind of video card you have (you will need a video card no more then a 100 bucks at your computer store) most new computers have a video card. On the back of your computer there are three basic connecters you are looking for 1st one is the RCA composite, 2nd SVIDEO, and Third VGA, connectors if you have one of the 1st two you have a video card.

Newer computers most probably will have one of these type of connectors.

SVIDEO is superior to the RCA cables it will offer you better graphics and sound (note: you can still use the audio off your computer if you want to)

The VGA is what you hook up your monitor with you will need to have a HDTV to be able to use this one, if you do have a HDTV this is the best way to hook up your PC. if that is all you have you will need to get a video card, there is an adapter but it is not recommended, costs more then a new video card
