Answer 1

Digital Scan Converter will work if your TV does not already have VGA inputs.  They start at around $80 and can be as much as $2K

Answer 2

All you need is the RGA cable that you have hooked your computer up to your computer monitor with.    If the TV you are speaking of has a RGA plug-in, that is all you need.

Answer 3

You can use an S-Video cable, as long as your computer has an S-Video output, and as long as your TV has an S-Video input. You can use VGA, DV-I, or HDMI if you want to. But remember, go from the output in your computer, to the Input in your TV.

Depending on the TV, it may have a HDMI/DTV connection which can be used by purchasing a cord that goes from you pc's monitor jack to an HDMI jack in the TV.

Basically it all depends on your Computer/video card and your tv.
