both on your PC and on your Vizio tv. If so, you should just need an HDMI cable and then your TV will be treated as another display.

Can you check on this? If you can confirm, you can easily get the cable locally at Target, Best Buy etc.

After that, depending on your PC's operating system, it should be, at most, a quick setting adjustment if it doesn't work automatically.
