    Don't think you're supposed to, if they'd meant you to do that they wouldn't have provided the laptop with a monitor.  If you're just using it to play games you'd probably be better with a Nintendo or Playstation, they use a television as a screen.


    In the 80's I had a Sinclair ZX Spectrum computer and that uses a television as a screen perhaps you can still buy them off the Internet.


     Whenever I used the TV as a screen for anything I had to stop what I was doing when my dad wanted to watch what he wanted.

    If it's got an HDMI port your good to go all you need is the cable in which are easy to find..

    You have to hava a plasma or lcd tv .all you need is a pc cable and it also helps to have a wireless mouse. I connect mine to my 50 inch tv all the time and its awsome

    Simple if you have a newer TV:  Plug in your video USB cord into your TV.   Use your remote control to switch from TV to computer to DVR.  It works well for me!
