I want the TV to display whats on the laptop.
Answer
Most new laptops have certain display ports located on the left side, usually where the fan exhausts are, the one that is most commonly used to hook up to HDTV's is HDMI.
This is what it looks like:

You will need a hdmi cable to connect the port of the laptop to the tv, which looks like this:

HDMI cables are not so expensive, depending on how long they are. Usually if you have a long connection from the laptop to the tv, you may want to invest in higher quality cables, but for the most part something like this would be more than enough:

When you have connected the pc to your tv, another cool feature you can use is the ability to turn off the laptop screen when its connected to the tv, and the process to do so can differ depending on what kind of GPU you have, ( Intel, AMD or nvidia)

Questions about Panasonic GT50 THX Cinema picture mode?
Alex
I purchased a 50" GT50 HDTV a few days ago and I absolutely LOVE it! The picture is amazing. I was playing around with the picture modes though and i noticed one called "THX Cinema". How is this different from the regular "Cinema" mode? When i switch between them all that's obvious is that the picture looks a bit smaller but more complete (like it zooms out a tiny bit). Of course I'm completely ignorant to all this technical stuff so what do I know. Can anyone explain this to me? I the THX mode optimal for movies and such?
Answer
For a given manufacturer’s compliant display, THX [picture] modes are intended to provide a set of simple preset picture settings that conform to THX’s carefully chosen criteria for video image quality. Ideally the preset THX picture settings should provide the most natural or accurate video image quality short of a professional video display “calibration.” In reality, for the more demanding perfectionist it is relatively easy to surpass the image quality performance offered by the preset THX picture modes on the 2012 Panasonic plasma display panels by using the Custom picture mode along with proper display calibration software and hardware.
In addition:
THX picture modes (according to Panasonic GT50 series eHELP, page 25):
‘Precisely reproduces the original quality of the image without any revision.’
‘Recommended for playback of THX disc[s] (disc[s] with “THX” logo.) THX mode is used to mirror the picture settings used by professional filmmakers, faithfully reproducing the image quality of THX Certified movies. (THX Certified movies have the “THX” logo on a disc.)’
