Does your TV have a VGA Connection? Usually labelled PC? Does your laptop have a similar connection?

Re: how do i connect TV to PC?
Do you want to watch TV on your PC or use the TV as a monitor?
If a monitor you will need a 15 pin SVGA port on both, if you don't have a SVGA on the PC, I have seen a USB to SVGA adapter in Maplins.

There's probably a sound input to go with it, probably need a stereo jack to 2x phono for the most common type.
And try 99p/poundland for a VGA to VGA cable, not sure if they always have them though.

Re: how do i connect TV to PC?
You should be connecting the pc to the some speakers and not just the TV. So the PC sends the picture to the tv / and the sound to some external speakers.
