You can get DVI to HDMI cables for relatively cheap.
So if you can get a DVI output, you can plug it in to an HDMI TV.
I tried this with a mac mini. I was not terribly impressed. The best
resolution on the mini still didn't look very nice on the TV, and all
overlapped the edges of the TV (so I couldn't see the edges of the
screen).
Hopefully X will give you finer control on your resolution than
what I could get with the Mini.

Depends on your TV.
Do you have a 720{p,i} or 1080{p,i} TV?
