As many of the Lenovo thinkpad fans know we do not have S-Video cable to connect to the TV or neither a male to male HDMI works. After some serious search I finally was able to connect my T410 to my Samsung. The T410 or I believe any IBM/Lenovo laptops can be connected to a TV via the Display port-male To HDMI-male Adapter. I made a purchase over Amazon and see link below. Sometimes or initially only the video might play and there might not be any audio. In my case, I own a Lenovo T410 and the Fn+F6 key opens up the Communication Settings.
Select the "Audio Defaults & Settings" and you shall see two options, the default is the 'Speakers' and the second option might vary according to the TV. The second option is visible only if the laptop and TV are synced. If you happen to have no video, you just might need to switch the TV off and switch it back after about 10secs, else the laptop might need a re-boot. Performing one of the two actions (the TV one as you know is better) will display the second option for sure.
I guess many of them might have found an answer to this but I thought this might be helpful to a few.
