Connecting my Laptop to my HDTV

I want to connect my laptop to my HDTV but I am having trouble finding the right cable for the job.

The only video output on my laptop is for a monitor cable... My tv however has pretty much all the different inputs...

My laptop has a resolution of 1280x800 as its widescreen, and I was doing some research and I found out a WXGA cable would be the best but I cant find one...

So my question basicly is what is the best method of essentially turning my tv into a monitor, but I would need it to be 1280x800. I dont mind using any adapter of some sort, im guessing it might have to be a USB one. Im no expert on this so sorry if my terms are wrong or confusing, I tried to explain the situation as best as I could...

Thanks for any help given!

Cheap prices, great wires. They might have that cable you need.
