    I've seen on like AOTS and like X-play where they show people playing the video game and I was wondering what I needed to play or use a tv as my computers monitor?

    S-Video out.
    Your Comp and TV need to have an S-Video out.
    You get an S-Video Cord and connect them both and walla instant TV/Comp

    NEVER ask for a Plus rep.. I would stick with a Computer screen unless you have a 10k 60" with a DVI Connection. Unless you do, graphics wont be too great. I have an S-Videod 56" HD and I like my screen. ;)
