LCD TV's won't suffer that much.

Normal TV's will be fine.

So what type of TV  you got LCD, Plama, CRT type tv?

I have a LCD TV, so how badly will it be damaged? Because it's a fairly new TV and I don't want to break it.

If you want to try anyways (It's nice to play games or watch movies on the TV), your TV will either need to support a kind of video mode supported by your computer's video card.  Various connections exist, for example: standard RGB (normal monitor cable), S-Video, HDMI.  Do some research about which types of video input/output your computer and TV support.

Yeah the only hook up I have is the VGA RGB input on both my TV and laptop so I figure I'll buy a double male VGA cable.
