As everyone has said, pretty much every video card made now has some form of video out. However, depending on the TV you have it's possible to get really kick-ass pictures.

The default for most cards is an S-video out port which can act either as a second monitor or a clone of the main screen. Cheaper or older cards often had a composite out instead of S-video, it gives a lower quality output but still works for most games and such. The best setup would be to get a plasma or LCD with VGA connections, but that'll cost you over $5,000.

Middle to high-end would be a TV with component inputs and an adapter to match. I'm not sure what model card you have but ATI offers a component out adapter with a few of their models. I've got one and it's friggen sweet. It has the clearest picture I've ever seen on a TV.
