The fact that you haven't given any info AT ALL about the laptop is the reason you haven't had a reply! Laptops are not all the same you know.
Obviously scart to scart will not work, I've never seen a laptop with a scart connection!
If it's a really new laptop, you might be able to connect using an HDMI lead (I do that and it's perfect) or you may have to use a VGA-VGA cable, not quite as good quality but good enough. But then again, your TV might not have a VGA port.
