What laptop do you have?
Usually it's an S-Video lead for telly and you'll need a 3.5mm to Phono connector for audio

If it's to a flat screen most have standard monitor cable ports. 17pin or whatever it is.

or look up the spec online and get the corresponding one.
Would be surprised if there was no s-vid on a new tv, it's pretty standard.

If it's a fancy new laptop it may have an HDMI port you can use.
