The man has spent $2K on a TV so why save $20 to $50 on a GPU.
Once you see how much better the GT220 & 240 are than feature set A & B
cards you won't be suggesting any thing else.
They are more power efficient so quieter/smaller & cost little more.
They have superior deinterlacing & scaling.
The only downside (for some) is no component out versions (I think).
The OP has a hdmi capable TV so there is no better choice than GT220.
