Connecting PC to LCD TV

[sud98]

I have quite a few movies on my laptop and external HD and was finding it a challenge to connect it to my LCD TV. I have currently connected it using a Bainbridge projector type connector using the monitor out. Is this the best option or there are other methods to do it?

I connected my lenovo t61 to my plasma tv. It has a vga port, connected using the external monitor output. The video card is not all that good, so I am going to build an HTPC. Also there was no spdif output on my laptop.

Boss you need to use a simple vga cable thats it .Plug in the vga cable to the vga ports of your lcd and laptops and you are good to go. For audio use a headphone jack to RCA connector . Its available everywhere. I have played a lot of MKV files using the normal vga cable and the quality was really good.
