Equipment for Presentations

[Earl Young]

Putting monitor output on a tv screen is fairly old technology, but there are 
lots of pitfalls.  The major one is that the resolution on a TV screen is much 
lower than the resolution on a television set (sit about 18 inches from a TV 
screen in order to get the full effect) and  thus little of the "detail work" on
the monitor displays well.

The cards to make this happen are typically in the $200 range as i recall.

A hardware query:  in the Internet workshops I've given in the past, 
I've always used a projector to, well, project the video monitor's 
output onto a screen or suitable wall.
     
Now I'm wondering:  is there a device with which I can take the video 
output and transfer it directly to a television screen?  In this case 
there would be no projection; the images would appear on the television 
as would any regular TV program.  How much do these devices cost, if 
they do indeed exist?
