$$$ if you can solve my laptop to HDTV problem

Bluey is right, all you need is a vga cable and an audio cable. I do it all the time and the resolution is pretty decent. It should work really well for playing poker.

use the vga cable...you might want to use a program like powerstrip to use a custom resolution (depending on what your lcd resolution is)

Don't care about the cash.

Easy solution, go to any computer shop and get a DVI (DSub) to VGA (Analog) converter for like 20 dollars, use a vga monitor cable to connect it (another 10 dollars probably if u dont have one).

Don't bother with HDMI connectors etc, its pointless when you only have an analog RGB output from the laptop.

Audio just get a normal stero cable with a single jack to connect to the laptop with 2 output connectors for left and right and plug it in.
