Your "monitor" has VGA "output"? Perhaps you mean your PC.

"Best" would be if your PC and TV had DVI (or HDMI). Next best would be
if your TV had VGA input. VGA to component would require some sort of
converter box (not just a cable) since the signals are different. Do a
web search for "vga to component".

Easiest would be if your PC video card has S-video or composite output,
however, you might be disappointed by lack of sharpness.
