You just need a vga lead mate, but that wont carry audio from your laptop to tv unless your tv has a little head phone type connection next to the vga socket.

Whats your laptop and tv models mate?

fn and F5 will get it on to your tv but you will need a set of external speakers for to hear it, and you will need a jack plug on the side of your laptop.

just a normal male to male 15 pin VGA cable

you would also need a 3.5mm phono lead.
