As has been said, many video cards have TV outputs.
But, virtually any CRT computer monitor is a higher resolution display than any ordinary TV, so you might get a better picture by watching DVDs on your computer.
I'm running twin 21" Sun monitors (CRT, top end models) and the picture quality is radically better
than that you can get from almost any TV set, AT ANY PRICE.
I have a very, VERY good home theater system, and I can't honestly say that the picture delivered
by my 45,000 dollar projector and additional 10,000 bucks' worth of sources and video processors is NOT necessarily a BETTER picture than what I can get with these monitors and a really good software DVD player.
(It's only fair to mention that I got some utterly incredible deals on my HT rig, and my investment
is maybe 10 percent of original cost...or less.)
