I don't recommend doing it. It depends on how big your t.v is but unless you tv is 22 inches or smaller its not going to look to good.

The better thing to do is to use a computer monitor as a tv. Monitors can run at a way higher resolution that t.vs

I watched some of Lab with Leo and somebody had the same question. It gets pretty complicated because you have to change the output on the computer and you have to mess around with the settings on your tv. Your best bet is to google it on how to do it properly

I do it sometimes... There are many was to go. Cable wise. The best I've found is VGA cables and using some computer speakers.

Settings aren't that hard to figure out. Its pretty easily tweak able. Just make sure you make note of stuff so you don't screw anything up that you can't fix.

What do you want to use your T.V. as your PC monitor anywho?
