MacBook Pro to External Monitor cable

This is probably an easy question but I couldn't find the answer in the search. I am new to mac and just purchased a MacBook Pro. I would like to be able to hook this up to my larger PC monitor. What kind of cable do I need to do this? Thanks in advance.

Please refer to our Sticky Post on how to hook your Mac to a TV or external monitor. It's located at the top of the "Other Hardware" forum. It's a rather long post but very informative. Read through all of it.
