Most new TVs these days will come with a built in VGA port, you can plug the laptop into there and enable the external display.

I'd imagine you can get cheap ones from Amazon that are around $5-$15

#dj1437 Yea I sold it a long time ago. I did however did get it to work, but the machine couldn't handle the resolution. I wasn't planning on doing gaming on it. I mentioned gaming because it is hooked up to my gaming consoles.
