I would like to connect my older computer system to my Sony Bravia LCD television. Some system configuration info is below.
CPU: Pentium III, 1.2 GHz RAM: 256 MB Motherboard: Intel 810E
Is this possible, or might it damage the computer or television?

Does the TV have a VGA socket (Small D shaped plug with 15pins in 3rows) ? If so then it should just work, otherwise you may need a fancier graphics card with a DVI/HDMI output.
Assuming the HW isn't faulty then no you cannot damage the TV.

2There are plenty of adapters out there to change the video signal for RCA, HDMI, etc. So all he really needs is the right adapter. – MaQleod – 2011-01-28T17:14:52.910
An adapter is fine if it's just a connector issue. Converting VGA to composite video, hdmi or s-video requires a bit more. VGA to HDMI (or v.v.) needs almost a computer! – Martin Beckett – 2011-02-07T02:47:12.187

Typically, if they share a socket type, they will work together. If they don't both share a socket type, you may consider an adapter (ie. VGA to HDMI), however that's not guaranteed to work.

yep, you might need to adjust your resolution to make it look alright, but it will work – MaQleod – 2011-01-28T17:22:31.090
