What cable do i need to connect my laptop to my tv?

I want to connect my laptop to my new Sony HDTV so that the TV will be my monitor. What cable do I need, VGA?

I just want to do this for specific events. Is there a specific cable to use since my TV is HD? Do you know if the new picture will "fill my screen" or only partially? I guess I also have to change some settings on my laptop to accomplish this. Thanks for any assistance. It's appreciated.
Answer:

s video will be the easiest, but if it has a moniter cable input, this will be the clearest.

you need an up to date video card that has a 'tv out' connection. Then acquire a computer to tv cable that is long enough to get to the front or back to the tv. You can use any Audio/Video input (front or back of the Televison.
