PC input means VGA. A VGA cable is how computers connect to monitors, so you already have such a cable. Even higher-end computers with graphics cards that have DVI output come with VGA adapters (mine is such).

It comes with your computer monitor, typically. If you already have a computer, then just use the one that is already connecting the computer to the monitor.

Can also buy a new one, if so inclined.

So if i decided to by a lcd Tv with inbuilt pc input would the cable come with it because my lounge rooms Plasma tv has PC input but didn't come with the cable that is used for the pc input. If sold seperaly how much does the cable cost.

My Sony LCD TV came with a cable. Sold separately, it would only be around $5-20 from a computer store or Tandy. Just make sure it's actually VGA input. It should say so around the port on the TV. If it doesn't, a VGA port is trapezoidal with three rows of five holes each.
