depends where you are getting the films from, obviously a blu-ray film wont work unless your laptop has a bluray drive
if you are talking about HD video files then yea it will work
if you are talking about HD video files then yea it will work
So if i download a film that is 1080 HD not bluray then i will be able to play it back through my HDTV even though my computer wouldn't be able to play it?
yea, cos you would be using your tv as a monitor
Brilliant cheers mate.
I'm doing just that with 24 and I've just watched Fringe in HD on my TV from my laptop.
You'll need a cable for the video and a seperate once for the sound.

but wouldnt the graphics card make a differnce? ie if you have a shit one it wont be as good?
How big are HD files to download?
Can anyone recomend the cables then i've got a Fujitsu Siemens laptop and Sharp Aquos 1080p HDTV? I don't no a great deal about technical stuff cheers.
The 1080p version of Batman Begins is about 20gb.
what is the model number of the laptop in question?
Does your tv have a VGA plug in the back? If so just do what manxman said. I do this with my macbook pro. If your laptop isn't old chances are it will show better resolutions then your TV anyway.
