Yeah, HDMI. If the laptop doesn't have it, then VGA to HDMI.

For my Macbook I use Airplay to beam it to my Apple TV over Wifi. Works really well and no cables.
Must be something similar for PC's.

Assuming your TV is not an antique, just go VGA to VGA.
Quality won't be great, but I suspect it will suffice.
