I play a lot of video in my show using a VGA to RCA video converter with quite acceptable picture quality output to 40" + TV sizes.
If you have HDMI connectors on both your laptop and Monitor this gives you excellent picture quality although you will need to disable the sound going through the same connection.(Read how to do that here http://forum.mtu.com/showpost.php?p=108439&postcount=7)
One draw back with this set up is if the connection is to a monitor fixed to a wall the connections are usually at the back and hard to get to which is one reason I stick to the RCA video in, which is normally located in an easy to access place.
