Are you talking about as an additional TV or to use as your Singer's display?
If you are talking about as an addition item then you will nbeed to use a karaoke mixer with multiple video out plugs or a video adapter as some of these guys use that will take the S-video or RCA output from your PC and allow splitting it to multiple TVs.

I run the S-Video out of my video card to an RF converter, then the cable out to a splitter to 4 tv's in the bar. The S-Video is my 'extended desktop' so the lyrics will display to all tv's I have connected to it.

I run s-video from my laptop to a audio/video amplifier from Radio Shack ($50). This way I have no drop in video quality running singer monitor and 3 additional TV's. Just another way, use whatever works best for you.

Works for me too! S-Video out of laptop to RF converter then coax cable out to splitter then coax cable to each individual TV. New TVs still have the cable hookup.

Radio Shack sells the wireless (a little expensive) but great when the TVs are very far away, so you don't have to run a long cable. A friend uses that, but there are occasional audio & video dropouts from wireless interference.
