Use an HDMI connection if you have that option on your laptop. Otherwise use a VGA cable and try a resolution of 1024 x 768 on the laptop. If that works okay, try the next resolution up and so on until you find the highest resolution your TV/laptop will display.

Didn't get the end of your question, but I have a 50" plasma hooked up to a Dell xps tower. Works fine. If you're into video games, it's amazing, especially with surround sound. Enjoy!
