If you really wanted an answer, you'd state:

1) Make and model of TV. If there is an actual web product
page for the TV, then post a link. That saves time.

A brand new Vizio 26" HDTV

2) Make and model of computer.

I don't have the computer yet. I may buy a Dell
Optiplex as a "base" and add video card with HDMI
output.... or just build myself

3) OK, you want to hook up the desktop to it. Will you be
playing 3D games, like Crysis ? Will you be playing a DVD
on the computer, and displaying a movie on the screen ?

No games at all....I'm not a gamer. Just movies and off
the air broadcast

plenty of graphics cards have HDMI outputs (in addition to the normal DVI
and VGA) so thats not the problem.
since you say you don't play games and want it for movies (Blu-Ray?) then I
would suggest a low profile card with a passive heatsink since Dells often
have very compact cases with little room and you want it quiet for watching
films. such a card would also have low power requirements which would go
well with a Dell.
