The worlds of computers and television are merging, so it makes sense to try to run your computer using your television as a monitor. Most standard definition televisions are not going to give you the visual quality of a computer monitor, but can be a suitable alternative or extra monitor. Scalable high definition TVs may actually provide an even better alternative to your computer monitor. Connecting your computer to your TV requires knowing what your computer is capable of running for video.
Instructions
Step 1
Check the video outputs for your computer. Most computers have VGA outputs; some offer other options such as S-Video, or on high definition computers you might find DVI or HDMI.

Step 2
Find the inputs on your television. Most older televisions have coaxial and maybe composite or S-Video inputs. Enhanced definition TVs and high definition TVs often have several inputs which are often VGA, DVI, component or HDMI.

Step 3
Locate the necessary cable or adapter. If your computer and TV have the same output and input, then you just need the necessary cable. If not, you have to find an adapter. There isn’t always a suitable adapter.

Step 4
Connect the computer to the TV and test it out. You may find that the quality is poor compared to what you are used to on a computer monitor. TVs are designed with different specifications than computer monitors and many can only support a resolution of 640×480. Several high definition TVs support higher resolutions.

Step 5
Look for a monitor that can support use for both a computer and television. It is increasingly common to have a monitor pull double duty as a television and computer screen. Many monitors have input options you can switch so you can have several peripherals plugged in to one monitor.

Things You’ll Need:
•Computer
•Television screen
•Cable or adapter for necessary video input/output

If you have an Xbox 360, this is the easiest way to stream movies to your television wirelessly with no further equipment required.

yes there is a relativliy simple solution to this
if your computer has a HDMI output or VGA, and your television has a HDMI or VGA input, then use the relevant wire and connect the two

bear in mind that VGA does not carry audio, so you will need a phono lead or something to connect the two
hdmi would be preferable as it carries both audio and video signals

You’ll need an updated TV and a specific HDMI cable which connects from your laptop to your TV. on your computer, at the back of the processer(the tower) theres this long purple slot with loads of holes in it, kinda rectangle shaped overall with holes in it. thats the cable, you should go to maplins for it
