    Hi, I wanted to know if I connect my 15.4" laptop to a 52" tv for about 10hrs(playing some game), since it used so much energy from such a small laptop to show on a big tv, when I go back to regular use with only my laptop after, will my laptop's performance be a little damaged because I used it on a big tv for so long and it's just a laptop?

    Your computer will be fine. Your TV will not drain energy out of your laptop and your computer will not be damaged.
