HOW CAN I CONNECT MY LAPTOP TO MY TV SO I CAN SEE IT ON THE BIG SCREEN?

connect the three things, check the hdmi channel on your tv, and your laptop screen should appear. if not, you'll have to alter your laptop resolution to match your tv's resolution. if it still isn't working, check that your laptop is setup for two monitors ( this is found in the same place as changing your resolution).

Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the laptop, and then connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the TV. You might have to change the screen resolution on the computer though.

Your laptop will have a VGA output or possibly a S-video out. For the VGA you'll need a standard VGA cable. Plug the cable in to your laptop and the PC input of your TV. If your TV does not have PC input it may have a DVI input. IF it does you can use a VGA/DVI adapter to plug it in. If it doesn't have a DVI input you can use the S-Video output on your laptop with a standard S-video cable. After the connection to your TV is made you will have to toggle alternate display by pressing and holding your [Fn] key and pressing F4, or F5, or another F# key. It's the one that looks like a TV screen. Press once to turn on output, press again to turn off your laptop screen, press again to go back to laptop screen only. If you want to put the audio on your TV you'll need a headphone to RCA jack converter (Radioshack). Plug the cord in to your headphone jack and the RCA jacks in to the same input you used for the video. I have this set up to watch movies from my laptop on my home TV. Hope this helps!

HDMI and VGA cables will work see what port you have on your laptop then google how they work
