These can be both ordinary computer monitors and many models of modern TVs.

Step 1
If you decide to display the image from your laptop to an external display, then first determine the video output ports available in the laptop.

Those. the image quality will be much worse when connected via the VGA port.
Step 2
Determine if there are ports on the external display. TVs are dominated by VGA and HDMI ports, monitors are dominated by VGA and DVI. Remember that the DVI and HDMI ports are analogous and there are adapters for them.
Step 3
