Hooking up a digital projector to my laptop

I just received my new Inspiron 17 (3737) BTX and found that it has no port to allow me to hook it up to a digital projector (14 pin). Can I get an adapter cable of some kind to enable me to attach the projector? Also, is there a cable I can use to hook the laptop up to a flat screen tv? I present classes from a PowerPoint presentation, and being able to hook up to a tv would be ideal for small groups. For larger groups I'd use the digital projector.

If the TV has HDMI, just use an HDMI cable

If the projector is VGA only, you'll need something like this:
