    If you just have the VGA output for you video card your going to have to buy a device that will convert that to s-video or composite to display on your tv.

    I think now a days they also have devices that you can plug in to your USB ports but I not sure on that.

    Check out the Avermedia Averkey LITE- plug n' play, I got mine yesterday and it works like a dream for movies etc. Just keep in mind these converters are no good for reading small text etc.
