Connect Asus ZenBook NX500 laptop to a television using a cable

I have a new laptop that I really want to connect to my television so that we can just use it when we watch some videos or movies. How will I know the proper cable to use? Would there be only one plug for this in my computer? Could I just buy a new generic one from a computer shop? Would it still work properly with it? I need to have done as soon as possible.
