If it has a TV out, either yellow composite RCA or a s-video socket, then get a cable plug it in...sorted 
If not, then you will need to buy a VGA to TV converter...about 40 quid
However, to get the best picture, you need to set it to about 800x600 or 640x480, otherwise it will look fooked

Have a look on the back of it mate, if there is a VGA port ya sorted, if not ye buggered Or if you have a DVI port then get a DVI to VGA convert (little socket, cost about 5 squid) then buy a converter on top of that 
Just looked on dells website, cant find shite about your laptop, like specs, so i cant tell what sockets you have/havnt etc
Edit: you have a 15Pin VGA socket on the back mate

^^ yup...i do it when i watch films and it isnt as bad, but for surfing web like, its shite Only way to get it to look ok is to get a HD-TV and use that but thats because it can support 1024x768 and higher, so it looks better. Also, using a DVI or VGA connection instead of a composite connection is better also

High Definition TeleVision
What is HDTV?
HDTV, or High Definition Television, is a new set of standards for television and the quality in which we will watch it. It is the only change that has been made to the television format since we switched from watching black and white to watching color television many, many years ago.
To start off, regular color television is scanned at 480i, which means there are 480 vertical lines that are scanned in an 'I'nterlaced format. This means that at any given time, only half of the picture is on the screen at a time. While one frame will only display the odd lines (1, 3, 5), the next frame will only display the even lines (2, 4, 6). This happens so fast that the human eye is tricked into thinking that it is only seeing one picture.
This is contradictory to progressive scanning, which means each frame is displayed all at one time. Instead of interlacing the lines, each frame is displayed as you would guess, being line 1, line 2, line 3, etc. The end result is a much sharper image and looks much better. Although the difference in an interlaced signal and a progressive signal is the way the picture is scanned, it does have a big difference on the resulting image.
Now true HDTV signals are signals that are broadcast in a format of 720p or 1080i. 720p means that there are 720 horizontal lines that are scanned progressively and 1080i means there are 1080 horizontal lines that are scanned in an interlaced format. Although there is a big difference in the number of horizontal lines, the fact that 720p is progressive and 1080i interlaced means that the resulting pictures are very similar.
