Although many PC users choose to hook their PC up to a traditional computer monitor, some choose to take advantage of their TV's ability to act as a monitor for their PC. If you own a Westinghouse TV capable of supporting either RGB/VGA or HDMI/DVI connections, then you may be looking to hook up your PC to the TV. You will find that hooking up your PC to a Westinghouse TV merely requires using the correct cable to connect the two devices and then switching to the correct input on the TV.
