Your laptop has a video and an audio out. So video to tv (don't know what outputs you have video wise..S-video,DVI ?) and audio out mini to rca cable http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021804&p_id=665&seq=1&format=2
Depending on your video out you may need to download a driver or 2 I would assume that you already have that. What model acer do you have?
