    What is the make & model of your laptop, and the make & model of your television?

    What model Samsung laptop is it?

    What model Technika television is it?

    Once I know those answers, I can see what interfaces are available and tell you what you need.

    It would help more if you stated what connections you have on your laptop, and what are on the TV, rather than forcing everyone here to go googling the model numbers to find out........

    The output from your laptop will be VGA, SVGA or USB.

    To the TV, I imagine it will be Scart or HDMI (or maybe USB).

    I use VGA to Scart, press the Fn button and F8 and there we have it...un-ratioed photo's on my TV (because the graphics card on this is pooh!).
