You'll need your TV to be wi-fi enabled. (If it's not already so, you simply need to plug a wireless adapter into a spare USB port: http://www.wilko.com/memory-cards-dvds+cds/texet-usb-adapter-wireless-80211n/invt/0288976 ).

Then you'll need one of these to plug into an HDMI port on your telly:

A Google Chromecast will probably do the job, if you just want to display what is on the screen.

It will display your internet pages, if you are using Google Chrome as your browser.

It can also display iplayer and youtube when activated on your PC.
Oh, I notice that Chris has already suggested a Chromecast.

However he is incorrect to say your TV needs to be wifi enabled or would need a wireless adapter - the Chromecast does all that for you.

Any telly will do, as long as it has an HDMI port.
Thanks for pointing out my error, Hopkirk!

My first sentence should have read:
"You'll need your PC to be wi-fi enabled"
^^^Correction to the correction!

Actually, as long as your PC is connected to your router by any method (including via an Ethernet cable) it should still work.
