What kind of connections does your tv have? If it has a DVI your golden.

If you have VGA you can get a DVI-to-VGA converter and use your old cable or another DVI cable. Thats the simplest solution.

you mean a DVI cable like the one that came with your monitor? sure thing...noob. Heres another option if you have two DVI's on your video card and an extra HDMI on your TV http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812120063 |

According to you user manual you have an S-Video out so I'd use that.... This one should be what you need http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812105817You'll have to set up the dual display but when you plug it in it might detect it...if not let me know. |
