Everything I can think of requires a PC hooked up to the TV

i7 4790k | MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition | G.Skill Ripjaws X 16 GB | Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB | 2x Seagate Barracuda 2TB | MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr V | Fractal Design R4 | EVGA 650W

A gaming PC for your budget: $800 - $1000 - $1500 - $1800 - $2600 - $9001

unless the tv  has I/O and an rdp or vnc client then you'd need some computer hooked to it. If your title means you want to hook a pi to the tv and use a pc from that then use vnc such as tight but youtube and web would work as well from the pi and movies or games would be hard to get decent fps or a lag not from hell. Other than that a damn long cable or wireless I/Os.

With the Pis strength you're not going to get very smooth video, but you can try running a VNC program. TightVNC is common for the pis (google how-to and downloads). If that doesn't suit your needs you may just need to get a wireless keyboard and mouse and run some cable or try wireless video.

If you strictly want to watch video on your TV (like Netflix), I would recommend getting a ChromeCast or a similar device or if you want a more "robust" solution, go order an ODroid C1+ and get their Android template. I use both (ChromeCast and ODroid C1+) and they both playback Netflix as smoothly as my desktop does. The ODroid handles web browsing well along with YouTube videos and even some gaming (limited to Android games of course). You can also get the Ubuntu template if you want a real desktop, but the video playback isn't nearly as good so you're limited to anything not graphic intensive. If you want to go the RDP route, the ODroid and Raspberry Pi will both work but again, the video playback isn't good and you won't be able to play any games or anything like that so the only benefit for this if you want to run Windows applications on your TV that aren't available for Linux or Android. I use my RPi2 and ODroid C1+ as a desktop replacements to RDP to a Windows 10 VM that's hosted in a data center for when my office gets too hot to run my desktop.
