If you can get to Maplins you too can get that 'thingy'

Sorry Jamie, really not being facetious just sharing my experience.

The guy at Maplins told me the best is via HDMI direct
It's probably the same as I've got Peter (cost me £5 off a market stall) and it works well but I have to keep messing around with the settings on my laptop because of the resolution and it's a pain. Unfortunately my laptop doesn't accommodate HDMI or I would have got one of those cables.
