For a direct link from the laptop, you need a monitor or large-screen TV and it's just a display setting. Projectors are pretty cheap, $40-50. In a theatrical setting, ideally you could rear project onto a scrim, horizontally flipping the image in the display settings so that it is oriented correctly when seen from the front.
