Assuming you have a graphics card which has a VGA-out (for your monitor) and a s-video out (for tv), simply connect the s-video out with your tv s-video-in (or buy a small converter from s-video to scart if your tv doesn't have a s-video input plug. It will almost always have scart; otherwise it would be a 'bad' tv
).
If your video-card has a vga-out and a normal video-out, do the same, but plug it in your TV in the video-in instead of s-video-in.
If you do not have a pc video card which supports dual view:
- you either need to buy/insert a second video card
- you either need to buy/insert a new video card which supports 2 outputs.
- you need to buy a video splitter (but this is a last option though; and even not always the cheapest (if you want quality))
After everything is hooked up, set your video card driver settings accordingly. Resolution settings, frequency, etc should only be set once. If your driver software is any good (almost all are) it would retain those settings without any problems.
