Best Answer

If your computer has a Svideo output, it simply a case of plugging a cable between your TV and PC and selecting desktop spanning in your graphics settings.

If your TV and graphics card have a spare VGA port, you can set up a far higher quality link by using the same method as before, except with a VGA cable.

Yes you can use your TV as a spare monitor but you will need a cable to connect to the computer but again this will depend on how old your tv is and if a cable is avilable for it.
