Yeah you can do it... I think either as mirroring your 19 monitor or as 
extending your desktop to the TV

Pros:
Can use a TV as a monitor?
Extend your macs desktop on to the TV Screen to watch movies, while 
still doing stuff on the 19" screen?

Cons:
Low Resolutions like 800 X 600 and image quality when compared to a 
computer display, but good enough for DVD's etc...
Hard on the eyes for reading...
