    Um I think the best thing you can do is actually connect your laptop to your TV. I don't really think bluetooth equipped TV's are mainstream, or will ever become mainstream. Some TV's actually let you plug in a usb flash drive and you can view things from there.

    If you already have WiFi at home you can get a network (wired/wireless) video extender that will function on many machines.

    These extenders appear to the PC/laptop as if it was a video/presentation projector. Instead of redirecting the video out of your laptop to an actual projector, the extenders convert the video to ntsc/atsc (us standards) for display on a television.
