Question

Do I need to change any settings on my mac book pro to connect to my tv

Answer 1

Almost certainly, yes. Did you want to know which settings?
Exactly what settings you would need to change, where, and to what would depend on many factors, including at least the following:
* what model MBP you have (which will tell us the connector available),
* what version of Mac OS X it runs (which will tell us the settings available),
* what sort of TV you have (resolution, what connectors it offers, how they are switched, etc.),
* what connecting facilities you have (like wires or an AppleTV),
* how you want to use the TV (primary screen, secondary screen, mirror screen, sole screen),
* whether you want to play audio through the TV,
and even
* where the TV is located with respect to the MBP.
Simple case: New enough MBP to have HDMI output, running a recent OS X, TV new enough to have an available HDMI input, an HDMI cable on hand, using the TV as a secondary screen, and you don't care about how the screen positions relate or where the audio plays. You might be able to get away with default settings on the computer, but you'll still probably have to switch the TV to the HDMI input, and you'll have to drag windows onto the new screen.
