Ok first, that didn't answer either question. Second, CRT monitors don't exist, third, I have a 9600GT. sorry, but that wasn't helpful.

You can now be presesnted with two options that I would recommend for video signal methods.  A DVI or VGA cable (from DVI port with a small cheap converter, one usually comes with video card) from the PC to the TV.  Or you can go through methods such as S-Video or component video cables if your video card supports it.  

As for sounds through the PC things can get tricky, if you have specific questions I may be able to help.

It is done from the video card. But there are external devices available that can send out the same signal to two different monitors (TV=monitor). If you are building a media center PC for use only with a TV then you will only need the one monitor (TV). But most (if not all) modern video cards offer 2 DVI ports out anyway.

S-video is not HD.

To the OP: It all depends on what you're trying to do. Are you trying to watch TV/movies/etc. on your computer while being able to use the computer or are you just trying to use the monitor as a display for your computer and also TV/movies/etc?

If you're trying to show HD content via your computer, obviously it's through your video card. This route allows DVR-like capabilities to your computer, providing it has neccesary specs.

If you're just trying to use the display for multiple purposes, just use the inputs on the display.

LiveWire points are overrated; a currency for artificial respect.
A very funny read
