Depending on what inputs your TV has & how close your computer is to it, you may be able to simply use the TV as your computer monitor & play the movie on your computer while watching the TV/monitor. I have a an LCD TV that's a few years old now but it has a VGA input for computer. I've often hooked my notebook to this input & played videos/movies on the computer while viewing them on the TV. Essentially your TV becomes the computer monitor and you'll see your Windows OS on the TV. If you can do that, simply run whatever software on your computer that shows the media you wish to watch & it should display on your TV. Bottom line, connect your computer's video output directly to your TV if that's possible. No extra hardware or software required, except a VGA extension cable. If your computer & TV both have HDMI IN/OUTPUTS, Bob's your uncle & you'll get full HD.
