1. This depends on the ports on your laptop and tv - if you have a vga port on
your laptop then connect a cable to that and go to either the RGB or VGA
on your TV. You can also get RGB to scart conectors so ther eare a lot
of options! try your local Maplins for the cable (or look on eBay). Do a
google image search to identify the connectors you have.
2. High-definition TV sets have several options of input
ports and cable connections available. It's even possible to connect a
computer to most HDTVs to get its picture quality. If your laptop
computer is designed so it can plug into a standard computer monitor,
you can easily plug it into an HDTV set, and you may have a number of
options to connect it with. You must connect the video and audio
separately in most cases.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
-
Laptop computer
-
HDTV set
-
Audio and video cables
-
Step 1
Check the output ports on your laptop computer. There are
three types of ports that can work with this connection: S-video (a
circular port with pins in the middle), VGA (a square/trapezoid like
port with pins in the middle and two screw pins on the sides) and DVI (a
longer version of VGA).
-
Step 2
Compare the ports on your computer with the input ports on
your HDTV. DVI has the best quality, but not all TV sets will have
these. Most HDTVs will have VGA and S-video (VGA has the best quality).
-
Step 3
Connect the computer's output to the TV using the best cable
connection that you have.
-
Step 4
Connect the laptop's audio output to the TV's audio input
that works with the video. In most cases, this requires a stereo-to-RCA
cable, which has the single rounded plug with two black bands at one end
and the red and white RCA plugs at the other.
-
Step 5
Turn on the laptop and the computer and tune the TV to the
correct input channel. Tune it to "Computer" only if you used the VGA
connection; if you used S-video, tune the TV to that input channel.
makes sense, thanks for that
