    HP Pavilion dv6000 has VGA out, if ur HDTV has that also you can use a vga cord, but you’ll have to work an the sound part.
    other solution, VGA to HDMI converter

    Info on the Samsung site indicates your LCD has a PC input connector. This is what you should use if you want to use the HDTV as a PC monitor. You will use the external display connector on your dv6000 and connect it with a VGA cable to the 550. The proper cable is a male-female DE15 VGA cable.
