Assuming you have DVI out on the laptop then you can use either a DVI->HDMI adaptor with a HDMI lead or just purchase a lead with DVI on one end and HDMI on the other.

You'll be able to watch most HD trailers you can download at the moment but you're not going to be able to watch copy protected material (which works through digital connections only).
