Both laptop and TV need HDMI sockets. Only newer laptops and flatscreen TVs will have HDMI.
If your laptop doesn't have HDMI but you have a new TV with a socket for a monitor cable, you can connect your TV like an external monitor, but this will not provide sound. you'll need to plug speakers into the laptop or use the laptop's own speakers.
