Usually, with laptops, you would hold down your Function button (FN), then hit F4 (or whatever button has what looks like a monitor screen on it).

You can change between having the picture only on the laptop, on both the tv and the laptop or just the tv.

Make sure to change the power settings so that the laptop wont go into stand by mode if you close the lid.
