Is there a cable I can buy that links my PC to my TV rather than a monitor?

Thanks guys. The reason I asked is that my monitor isn't working and I can't afford repairs or a new one at the moment so I was gonna link my PC to my TV.

Your right, unless you have a 100mhz the picture is pretty poor, especially for text etc, only any good for watching films, playing some games, I has s-video to scart lead I use to connect my laptop to my tv, picture is sharp enough but ther is some shadowing, like I say, great for films and games but any small text, forget it.

TV Out cards are really cheap anyway, vice versa, I had a vga box to connect my PS2 to my monitor, picture was as crisp as a fresh pack of foil packed Walkers Salt and Vinegar.

Im not sure if you can get a cable that does it, but some graphics cards do have a TV out. But the question is why? Monitor resolutions are much much higher than TV resolutions.
