if you have a hd tv with vga input buy a vga cable and plug laptop to tv, if you dont have a hdtv then u will have to either burn them or watch them on your laptop, unless you have a pc in which case buy a new graphics card/tv card with tv out.

I use a VGA cable from my second port on my graphics card.

Use dual screen with my HDTV runs sweet as a nut.
