Hi RodChristenson,
I’m Alex and I am an independent advisor and hopefully will be able to help with his issue.
Firstly please can you confirm that your laptop has an HDMI port on it and that your TV has the same.
If they both have HDMI ports you will just need an HDMI cable to connect to both your laptop and your TV.
Once connected you will just need to adjust the input display of your TV to the correct HDMI option
Alex
