dedicated HW to do that would be more expensive than a cheap PC, so vnc is probably your only man
you can use remote desktop too - the windows are resizabe with settings in the .rdp file (TV is kinda low res)

setup a second video card for the TV output so not affecting your main screen

A KVM switch would do this.
