I actually did this this weekend. I have a new Apple 17" MacBook Pro with all the upgrades and hooked it up to my 46" XBR3 via adapter Apple includes to switch over to VGA and then ran the supplied VGA to the tv. The audio on my notebook is digital optical out thru a minijack(or headphone). So I bought a 1/8" to toslink cable from monoprice.com for the audio and will support 5.1 digital to my receiver.

You need to tell us what notebook you have or audio outputs that are on the notebook.

Also, when I plugged the notebook into the tv via VGA the notebook automatically recognized the tv as being 1920x1080 at 1080P. If you have an Apple then go "Preferences" and click "Displays" and it will show your resolution on the notebook and will show the tv's resolution on the tv. My tv looks absolutely amazing thru my notebook!
