If your TV and Laptop have HDMI, use it. It's best quality.
Others are.... DVI, VGA, composites (which I doubt your laptop has. You'd need to buy an adapter so it does).
I heard that plasma TVs burn easily when they're on a static picture for a long time (a picture that doesn't move). I'm not sure if modern plasma TV technologies have fixed that problem. Google search your TV and make sure that it cannot burn.
