You need a VGA cable, or if your laptop and TV have them, an HDMI cable. EDIT: Or, S-Video as suggested above. I think that if you use HDMI, the sound will transfer to the TV too, though I'm not sure.

It can be done

HDMI transfers both audio and video.

ahhhhh ok +rep to you guys

umm so I just buy a HDMI cable?

[Markeh]

if your laptop has an HDMI port, yes.

[AlexOC]

Yeh check your graphics card has a hdmi port, if not you can always get a VGA to HDMI cable.

If your laptop has a HDMI output use that. If it has a VGA output use that as long as the TV has a VGA input. The quality on s-video sucks. AlexOC, a VGA to HDMI won't work.
