Yes, you can in some cases.
If your laptop has an HDMI output, a single HDMI lead is all that you will need. Most laptops with an HDMI output also include sound on the connectors but there are some that don't.
If your laptop has a DVI connector, a DVI to HDMI lead will work but note that there is never any sound on a DVI connector.
If you need to run sound separately, use an analog audio lead. Most televisions have a separate audio input linked to at least one HDMI input that will provide for a separate audio feed.

How do hook up HDMI cable to PS3?
I plugged the HDMI cable into the HDTV and into the PS3. Then I went to the settings for both the HDTV and the PS3 slim and set them for HDMI and sync. When it works right putting a disc into the PS3 will turn on the HDTV and also switch the HDTV over to that HDMI input rather than a cable box or similar item even if it was on the cable box when you last used the HDTV.
How do you connect your laptop to your PC monitor?
Its basically the same as hooking your desktop up to your monitor, depending if your laptop or the cable uses VGA, DVI, DisplayPort or HDMI. Usually there should be a port on the back or sometimes even on the side of your laptop. Most VGA ports are blue, most DVI ports are white and nearly all DisplayPort and HDMI ports are black. Example of VGA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:VGA_port.jpg Example of DVI: http://help.bluebones.net/imgdvi_port.jpg Example of DisplayPort: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mini_DisplayPort_on_Apple_MacBook.jpg Example of HDMI: http://www.surfshopcomputers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Guide-connect-laptop-to-HDMI.jpg If the cable that comes from the monitor is DVI (white) and the port on your laptop is VGA (blue) or vice versa, you will have to get a DVI/VGA converter, they run from 5-10 USD. In most cases you should be fine just as long as you have a VGA or DVI port on you laptop. If you have a DisplayPort or HDMI, all you need is either an HDMI or DisplayPort cable with the same type input in your display. If you don't have DisplayPort, chances are the laptop has an HDMI so you can just use the HDMI connection. Most new displays (TV's and Monitors) have an HDMI, DVI and/or VGA input.

Is it possible to watch films from a laptop on a tv using a USB to HDMI cable?
Your laptop should either have an HDMI port or a VGA port for using an external monitor. Once established which port your laptop has you will need either an HDMI to HDMI or VGA to HDMI cable to connect to your TV. The picture quality should not be affected by either as you will be using the laptop's inbuilt graphics and all you are doing is changing the visual display from screen to TV, which should be simply done by pressing the correct function key for external display once your cable is connected.
