    So i have a Thinkpad T420 and I think it has a display port (++D) and another port that has a big openeding two little screw holes on each side with a symbol that looks like a pc monitor.
    On my TV there is a HDMI port, PC monitor port (which might be the same one as the one on my laptop), a pc audio and digital audio.
    How would i go about connecting my laptop to my Tv to watch videos?
