    PC to TV is really quite standard these days. What is it you want to watch, like internet football or movies or freeview.?

    Model of tv would help too
    Computers are like me, I get up in the morning and work...until I stop.
  • Use an HDMI 2-3 metre lead. ~£10 Best and easy to connect, Video and audio in 1 lead. Neat and tidy.

    Use a VGA lead Longer length possible >£10 easy to connect, video only. Audio via an extra lead from the headphone out socket of the laptop to phono plugs for the TV. Not pretty.

    Picture quality usually worse as not designed as a static display, and picture is stretched to much.

    I tried to do it but couldn't due to my integrated graphics card.

    that will be no impedimant to displayiing your PC on your TV, it will limit what you can watch on your screen (ie won;t run 3d games or perhaps not give you HD) but whatever you can see on your screen you will be able to get on your TV
