I just got a new Sharp LCD TV. The picture is great! Can anyone suggest a way to hook my laptop up to the TV to display photos and powerpoint presentations? Are special cables needed?

Thanks
 
if your laptop has an "s" video cable out port on your video card thats all you need. your tv probably has one. you might need to change settings in your video card properties to the tv instead of the monitor. i had my pc hooked up to a friends big screen tv and it was pretty neat.
 
Som new tvs (lcds included) also have a port for sd, xd, mmc, etc. cards and will allow you to take your card straight out of your camera and viw the pictures one at a time or some even in a slideshow. Might check to see if yours has that feature.
Course no music or neat transitions.
 
Chances are the TV and your laptop bout have VGA ports on them, most do. If you hook them together with a VGA cable you should be able to use the TV as an external monitor
