How to Hook Up a TV to a Computer Tower

Connecting a TV to a computer tower makes it possible to enjoy website content and other multimedia accessible from the computer on the television screen. Most TVs and computers are equipped with a variety of jacks for hooking up different types of equipment. Adapters are also available if the two components each have completely different jacks from the other. The most common connection on a TV and a computer is an S-video jack. Check the back of both components to determine the best cable to buy before heading to the store.
