It all depends on what kind of outputs your video card has and what kind of inputs the TV has.

There are choices between Composite Video, S-Video, HDMI,RGB and if you live in Europe, SCART for the TV. They all require different types of cable.

Unless you have compatible inputs/outputs you may need some kind of converter as well.

In short, more information is needed.
