you will need to purchase a cable that will connect from the laptop (see above ports) to the tv. most newer tv's come with dvi and hdmi if you notebook is newer it may have the dvi port which makes things easy. if this is that case you need a dvi to hdmi cable which can be found at and radio shack or future shop.

once connected you enable the tv as your default monitor by right clicking on the desktop and selecting properties in the menu. Once there you click on the settings tab and enable the monitor/tv there. hope this helps let me know if you have a vga port and i can give you some options for connecting to the tv with that.
