Output from X200 to LCD TV

I have a Thinkpad X200 and am purchasing a VGA cable so that I can output video from the laptop to my LCD. I see that there are different types of VGA cables I can purchase (e.g., SVGA, XVGA, UVGA, etc.). Assuming my LCD TV can handle the highest output that my Thinkpad can provide, which cable should I purchase? Is the difference in quality significant between a lower grade cable? Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

Also, bonus points if you can figure out what my TV is capable of displaying through the VGA input, and based on that, what cable I should go with. I have this model: http://www.westinghousedigital.com/deta ... itemnum=52

Thanks!

I usually get the less expensive ones because I personally have never seen any difference between them and the more expensive ones like Monster cables. They pretty much rape you at Best Buy and the like cause they got you right there. They sell you a $20 USB cable you can get on eBay/internet for a dollar or two. I don't think your X200 is going to have any trouble handling the 1366x768 resolution on your LCD, unless someone cares to correct me?
