all depends on the make & model of the laptop?We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will0

And the TV.There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.
It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.
In every town, in every state. In every house and every gate.
Wth every precious smile you make. And every act of kindness.

This, and how new your TV is.
If they are both pretty new, then HDMI will do the job."We can all fly as high as the dreams we dare to live...........unless we are a chicken" ~ Anon.0 -
If you have a VGA output only:

Then you need a VGA cable:
and +/- a standard RCA audio lead for sound output, depending on what input is required by the television or speaker system you have.0 -
If you have HDMI output:

Then this is a better option (depending on the television), and uses a HDMI cable:

You won't need a separate lead for audio with HDMI.
Any cheap HDMI cable less than £5 delivered will do the job.0 -

Check first if the television came with cables - I know even my cheap LG TV came complete with VGA cables and an audio cable. No HDMI, but I got two from Amazon for a few pounds total.
