I want to use my tv screen as laptop display. My laptop is bit old, Toshiba satellite c640 with 2 usb ports, one vga, 2 audio jacks (one for earphone and another for microphone), and one network adapter. My tv is sony with usb ports and one HDMI port.

Can I use any of these to connect my laptop to tv screen? I want to use my tv screen as laptop display.

You can use a VGA to HDMI adapter like this.

There are USB to HDMI adapters, however with a slow USB port, the video will not be very fast. Games, movies, etc will stutter a lot.

Depending on the size of the TV and the quality of the adapter, you may find VGA to HDMI conversion provides inadequate quality.

You may be able to find inexpensive laptops with broken screens (and a HDMI port) that would be worth upgrading to instead of converting the signal.
