    I think its a DVI cable.

    I could be wrong.
    But its the cord with (usually blue) it has a hexagon tip.

    Hope this helps!

    Sweet! This will be easy then
    You will need a VGA cable and a 3.5mm male to male connector.
    Plug the VGA cable into you PC and tv, and the 3.5mm into the speaker or headphone port and tv.
    If your PC does not autodetect the new monitor (tv) you may have to readjust the display settings.
    I have this setup on my laptop right now

    I use hdmi to connect my laptop to my tv's

    Works great!
    Other than that I used to have a dvi from my xps to my plasma and 7.1 run through my receiver.

    Make sure your tv and video card can match resolutions or it will look like crap.
