Hi allankingrollo and welcome.

This will depend on what outputs your laptop has and also what inputs your TV has.

If you have any additional inputs/outputs then a direct connection may be possible but the usual way would be to use a converter box:

A VGA cable from your laptop to a converter box

An audio cable from your laptop's headset output to the TV

A yellow Composite Video cable (or a S-Video cable) from the converter box to the TV

A converter box like this: -

Hi Blencogo thanks very for such a speedy and comprehensive reply,i think one of those converter kits is going to be the solution.

many thanks
