Movie from laptop to TV question

I do netflix streaming to my upstairs flat panel from my macbook all the time, Carlos.
Works great.
I use the video output with the adapter that came with my macbook, yours probably did too, it is a mini dvi to VGA, most newer TVs have a vga port in back.
I also just take a 1/8" plug from the headphone port straight into the tv. Yours may or may not have this though. I can send you a pic if you would like.
If you have to buy the adapter, I think they run about 19 bucks.... (ripoff, but convenient)
This might also be a good option.

Maybe that is a Pro thing or a Samsung thing?
