Not so, some (maybe many) have a TV output. Not great for computer tasks,
but fine for displaying a video. Think - making a presentation!?

To enable the TV output, you probably have to go to Display Properties,
Advanced Tab, and enable the second (TV) display.
Check your owner manual or the laptop maker's website for specifics -
without any details about your system, how can you expect us to give you
detailed advice? There are lots of good, knowledgeable people reading these
forums, but we're not psychics.
