    Depends. Many laptops have 'TV out'.

    Check this place for comprehensive coverage.

    There are a couple of cables you can use depending on the kind of TV you have.

    1) S-video to S-video
    2) S-video to RCA
    3) DVI-D to HDMI
    4) DVI-D to DVI-D

    I think there are a couple more. The first is the connection to the laptop and the second is to the TV.
