What cable(s) do I require to display my laptop onto my HD-TV?

Laptop ports..

VGA Port 1 x 15-pin HD D-Sub
S/PDIF Port 1 x Speaker/ headphone/ line-out jack with S/PDIF support
Audio Line In Port
Microphone Port
RJ-45
RJ-11
USB 2.0
DC Power 1 x DC in

If at all possible I would appreciate a link showing a price too!

Dig the manuals out. A picture doesn't tell us what ports you have

Modern laptops all have the same ports.

Err no they don't. Some come with s-video, less come with DVI and even less come with HDMI.
I would suggest yours might come with s-video but let us know what model number your Acer is and should be able to go from there.
If it does have s-video output then you'll need an s-video cable and a scart adapter with s-video input.
Also you should have a VGA out port on your laptop so you can plug that into your VGA input into the TV.

Then the only option you have is a VGA cable.

Word.

Is it just a standard VGA cable then?

That gets plugged into the blue VGA port back of my laptop and then simply other end into the back of the TV?

Is that all that's needed to get the sound on there too, or would I need an extra cable?

No VGA only sends a video signal so you'll need 2 phono to jack leads.
