    well, first see if your video card on the back of your computer has two outputs. You might have a VGA (blue) and a DVI (white). Search google for those connections if don't know what they look like. If you have both, one way to connect is to connect a DVI cable from your cpu to your TV and the VGA from your cpu to your monitor.

        Well, if the TV has an HDMI or DVI jack, you can run a DVI-HDMI or DVI-DVI cable. Otherwise, to use the blue plugs, you need a male-male VGA cable. (I believe male-male: double check and make sure both components have the female already) Here is a great site to order form with excellent prices: http://www.monoprice.com/products/su...d=10201&style=
