    I would say the best way, if your TV has an HDMI input (which it should) would be to get a DisplayPort to HDMI converter, and then get an audio cable that connects from your headphone jack to the TV.

    I haven't done this myself, since I already have a desktop hooked up to my TV, but that's the best way to get audio and digital video to your TV, for a minimal cost.

    Quality cables?

    http://www.monoprice.com . I've bought all my home theater cables there, at a fraction of what it'd cost to get them locally. HDMI, component video (including my Nintendo Wii component adapter), etc., they've got it.
