Yes you can - connect using the VGA sockets on the back of the laptop and on the back of you LCD tv - the socket is a multipin one usually colored blue. You should fin that there is a key on your laptop, usually one of the function keys, which toggles the display on the laptop between the VGA out put (which you will have connected to your LCD TV) and the laptop screen. Done this loads of times, fire away and have fun.
