Default Separate display output from laptop

Hi,
I am trying to set up a quiz for my local pub and want to use pictures and music as part of the questions.I'm sure I've heard of people using a laptop and having them connected to the screens in the pub (plasma and projector) but with a separate output.That is, manipulating the questions from the laptop but only having the picture or text displayed on the screens.Hope I've explained that right.I know I could just get VGA senders to the screens but what software/hardware do I need to have that separate display?
Thanks
Jamsok

Most laptops have a output to add and separate screen.

Then you can use something like Microsoft PowerPoint to product a slide-show for said extra screen.
