Using a LCD TV as a monitor

Can I use a LCD TV as a monitor?  If I  need a TV out graphics card, how do I find out if I have one?
Is there any other way than a graphics card?  Thanks,
Toni

    There are Certain LCD TV's that Can be connected directly to the computer without any graphic card , If you can check with the LCD's manual there might be a connection where in you can connect the VGA Cable ( the normal monitor cable ) as a Output / Input to the computer , the VGA Cable connects from the LCD to the Computer ( Where the monitor is currently Connected ) , but i am not sure what kind of computer or LCD TV that your are working with , Everyone will be glad to assist you more on this issue you could give me all the details about your system and LCD TV

    Thanks for the reply.  I have a Del Inspiron E1505 with an S-Video port.  The Tv is a Samsung also with S-Video.  Any help would be appreciated.
     
    Thanks,
