try CONNECT TO EXTERNAL Monitor

but unless you have a HDMI cable connected to the TV you will have to use a ROKU device or something similar

You’ll need to determine what options for plug in connections are on the TV and Tablet.

HDMI would be the simple way IF THE PLUGS ARE ON BOTH UNITS.

Next would be RGB Monitor cable.

We need more detailed info.

Only because a expert has not dropped in yet to help you...It depends on your tv, what outputs it has. I have a cheap tablet that I hook up to my 10+ year old Westinghouse LCD tv

You are going to need to tell people what inputs outputs you have on your tv. Chances are it will be a micro mini usb to whatever your tv is, if you have usb outputs, then it might just be micro mini USB to standard USB, and you probably need a audio wire as well from tv to tablet

Heres a good howto from Toms Hardware

If both have an HDMI port, you can connect with an HDMI cable.

You need an adapter from Mini-Display Port to HDMI and an HDMI cable. $10-20 in any decent computer store.

When you get it wired up select your HDMI port as input on the TV. Next, on the Surface press F7 and select your external monitor display mode: Duplicate, Extend or External only. Duplicate puts the same display on the Surface screen and the TV, Extend doubles the size of your desktop and external only turns off your Surface display.

Enjoy!
