how? I was thinking about this yesterday. I have, somewhere, a connector to play Playstation controllers on the PC, but never used the connector...and how do you hook a computer to a TV?

If you have modern TV and reasonably new computer simply use HDMI like I do.
And I play with SNES Ascii pad with the SNES to USB conveter.

i don't have a HDMI port on my computer. I do have that on my TV (it's a 37" VIZIO flat screen L?D...I still don't understand the difference in LCD and LED, and wish I knew which was better, since I plan on getting a 60+ inch screen for Christmas)

In short, LED is brighter and crisper than LCD. LED > LCD

Depends on what video/audio output your computer has. If it has HDMI then awesome, that's perfect.
If not look for a VGA to HDMI cord or if your TV has a VGA port on the back you can simply plug VGA to VGA.
This is where i buy most of my cords:
