Is there a cord for a laptop...?

Is there a cord that plugs into a laptop and a television screen that projects the image from the laptop onto the tv? Such a cord would make my life easier. If it exists, what is it called and where can i get one??

Update:

Does a 40" proscan tv have a vga cord port? Thats the one my computer has. My computer's model number is 566700 i think if that helps...

Update 2:

i mean my television's model number...

    It depends on what outputs your laptop has. Most common is VGA or HDMI. I use the HDMI mainly because It will put a HD movie from my laptop to an HD tv.. If you are not sure which one you have, and you may have both, I do on my laptop, you can do a google search on vga and hdmi ports so you can see what they look like and you can compare them to your laptop.

    You can get them from newegg.com or cablestogo.com

    or walmart, target, best buy, fry's, radio shack

    I couldnt find any info on that tv. Look on the back of the tv and see what ports it has

    There is such a cord BUT, it requires a special port on both the TV and laptop and im pretty sure that only newer TVs have it. So you might want to make sure that you TV has one of the ports before you buy anything. As for what its called, i dont know (my sister says S-Video or HDMI whatever that means) but whoever you bought the laptop from might know, or if it came with a manuel it might be in there.
