If your TV has a VGA / PC input port and your has the same (most Laptops do) then you will only probably need one of these:

Likewise, if the TV has an Audio input port you can also get yourself a corresponding audio cable to connect Laptop audio output to TV input. Its usually a 3.5mm jack plug at each end, but check the TV. If not the Audio will play through the Laptop sound system

It depends what connections your laptop has and your TV hs.

It depends upon what outputs the laptop offers, and which inputs the TV accepts.

If they've both got HDMI sockets then, unsurprisingly, an HDMI lead will do the trick. They're about a tenner in Tesco or Maplin, far dearer than that in many computer or hi-fi stores, or around £3 or £4 in discount stores like Family Bargains. (A 'Which?' survey found that the cheap ones are just as good as the dear ones).

If your laptop has only got a VGA output then you need a signal converter, not just a cable. They're not cheap!

Your TV will, somewhere among its menus, a way of telling it that you want it to display a signal from an external source (rather than displaying a signal from its built-in tuner). You need to locate that option and put it into place.

(If in doubt, tell us which TV you've got and we'll try to find an answer for you).

thanks again

Have you pressed the 'Source' button (and then selected HDMI1 or HDMI2)?

[millerxxx]

hello mr b
on my remote itdoes not have a button marked = source
thanks once again

[missprim]

Don't know if this is any help but I get HDM11 etc by pressing the AV on the remote

[Buenchico]

It really would help if you told us the exact model of your TV set, Millerxxx. There are lots of different 32" versions of Toshiba HD TVs. I consulted the manual for one of them but it seems that yours is different. (The model number should be on the back of your TV).

[millerxxx]

thanks again for info
i will look for the number tomorrow
thank you all

Having read the manual (pages 16 & 17) my instructions remain the same. The 'Source' button, however, is labelled with a circle which has an arrow going into it. That, according to the picture on page 12, is at the top-left of your remote control:
