The quick answer to your question is yes. However it depends on your individual computer. If you are using a desktop that does not have any special video output ports on it then you can purchase a video card that will allow it to output to a tv. If you are using a notebook then it all depends on what they installed in it from the factory. There is no easy way to "upgrade" a notebook if it doesn't already have this capability however most modern notebooks have this ability. If your computer does have a video output such as s-video or composite video than you may need to activate that feature in your video display settings on your computer.
