A computer monitor cable is exactly what you need.

Go into the display settings and enable the second monitor.

have you got a 'toggle monitor' key on your laptop?
ususally if you press that it toggles between laptop screen, ext screen, both etc..

Silly question but, are you trying it with the PC input selected on your TV

vga doesn't carry sound, need a cable from the headphone socket to either the tv or an amp.
