it's more important to know if your computer (laptop or desktop??) has a TV output on it if some sort, if it's a desktop have a look close to where the monitor plugs on the back for a socket that looks like this

if it has one you just need one of these leads

Note it has two connectors on the computer end, the other is for sound and would need to be plugged in where your speakers plug in.
And you'll probably find that the picture is terrible. The resolution on an ordinary TV is just too low for a computer
wildwood is correct, you will not be able to read text easily if at all, but if you are just looking at playing films or displaying pictures then it looks OK
