You just need to match the card output to one of the Tv inputs. If both 
have vga, you can use that. If both have S-Video, you can use that. If 
both have composite, you can use that. If both have component, you can use

that. If both have DVI or HDMI, you can use that. Most video cards (except

real cheap ones) have some form of analog output. S-Video and/or composite

is the most common I think. You will also need a mini plug to RCA 
connector sound cable.
