Does your TV have S-Video in? If yes, buy good quality S-Video cable and connect it. If not , get S-Video to component cable and connect it.
Can you use your TV as monitor? no if your TV doesnt have S-Video in. Lack of sharpness , low refresh rate and shaky text make it a pain. If you try playing games you might find colourloss if not black&white picture. Monitors are better suited for static images and TV for videos.

thats not entirly true, if you have a VCR or a RF modulator then you can connect the pc to it. but you are right about pic quality.
BlackBerry7100g well you have to tell us what kind of connections are on the TV.

I meant using on long term. I tried it with two TVs. Using the TV as monitor for more than 5 mins was a pain without S-Video. IMO using some CRT TV as monitor is out of question.
