Answer 1

As the previous responder stated, VGA cable will work.  

However, depending on your graphics card, you may be able to connect using an HDMI cable.  

Or, your computer may have a DVI output, which can be connected to the TV using a DVI-HDMI adaptor.

Answer 2

I am assuming it is a desktop computer you are trying to hook up.

There are two cables required for this kind of connection.  The first is a standard monitor cable (VGA).  This is a blue 15 pin connector with two screws on either side.  The second is 3.5mm (headphone) to stereo audio cable.  This is hooked from your headphone jack to the red and white inputs that correspond to the VGA input on your television.
