If you mean how easy is to connect to a led tv, very easy! the Pi has a HDMI output and the led tv should have a HDMI input. just add the cable and they are connected.

You don't install a raspberry pi, you install an operating system to a raspberry pi (Or you get smart ass replies like above). As to how hard it is to install an operating system, it depends which one. So what do you plan to do with it?
One example lakka would be a good choice if you want to play games.

In a way, its an arm platform so its not going to be nearly as powerful as a desktop computer. Browsing the web, watching videos, playing retro games should work. Don't expect it to run the latest AAA games though.

It's not difficult. Download NOOBS https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/noobs.md install it on an SD card. Hook up your Raspberry Pi to the TV. Turn it on and follow the installation prompts. It's not the best Media server, but it should play movies and surf pretty well. A TV box or Netbook make better media servers and play game better too.

Not trying to be a smart ass Birain, only helpful. The first step I took when setting up my Pi was to connect to a monitor ( HDMI, no VGA port on a PI!). I can try and answer any questions on setting the O/S up. After I did that I installed Kodi (tvaddons.ag) on the PI. If you have an Android phone you can configure it to use as a remote for Kodi, A nice feature!
