How do you connect a laptop to a TV?

First, u need to get a cord that fits Your TV an your laptop. I used an HDMI cable. if you turn on ur laptop and put it to the right input (VGA) it may say no signal. All you have to do is select safe mode with networking on the laptop. The only bap problem about this is if you wanna listen to music yyou cant. Im currently trying to find that out.
