This depends entirely on the laptop model and the TV.
Modern laptops typically have several video-out connectors; modern TVs typically have several video-in connectors.
If any of the video-out connectors match any of the video-in connectors, you are in luck -- the corresponding cable can be used to connect them.
Some popular cables are (in order with highest quality and resolution first):
* HDMI or DVI-D or Micro-DVI cable
* DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort cable
* FireWire cable
* DVI-A or VGA or Mini-VGA cable
* S-video cable
Generally one needs the same connector on both the laptop and the TV.
There are other options. Many devices are available to allow you to connect your PC or laptop to a television. These solutions are sometimes disappointing when it comes to the resolution you will get on your tv versus a monitor since typical tv resolution is not as high as the Computer Monitors are designed for.
