What cable(s) do i need to make my tv into a computer monitor?

Q. I have an Olevia 32" LCD Tv. I got it for X-mas in 2008. I was wondering what cable(s) i need in order to be able to play games with my computer, but have the tv as my screen. My computer is also very new, a Dell, its no more than 1 or 2 years old. What kind of cable(s) would i need? where could i get it? and how much would this cost?
will this work with a laptop?

A. If your computer has a DVI port, you could get a DVI to RCA cable (RCA is the same as the ones that plug into the tv from the playstation).
If your computer has S-Video, you could get an Svideo to RCA cable.

Google up what each look like to see whether you have one. DVI is big and long, Svideo is round.


What TV would be best to use as a TV and computer monitor?
Q. I plan to use my next TV as a computer monitor because I cant afford both.

I'm looking to get a 1080p LED, not too picky on any particular brand. but it has to be under or around 350$

What would work best to serve both of these functions?Are there any specific cables need to have it work as both? and will 60hz to 120 hz really matter, as I am mainly using the Tv for gaming.

A. Most TV's come with a VGA port on the back that you can easily connect to the desktop. HDMI is better but you need a video card that has it built in instead of using a DVI to HDMI convertor. As far as the refresh rate goes you wont notice a difference. I use a 32 inch toshiba flat screen with 720p and its awesome to play on. I also have my cable running through to my TV as well and just switch to the input I want.
