Using my Google ChromeCast to throw the current Ram Nation game to my flat screen from my computer. Looks pretty good! I believe Roku, Apple TV and Fire TV have this ability as well.
 
I have been using the 1st generation Google Chromecast for a couple years to watch video games that were only internet streamed. I cast the stream to a 55 inch LED, so early on the video quality and resolution was not always so good. But the technology has improved a lot, and most college and pro games now like MLB.tv and NHL.tv have very good quality.

One other hint- You need to have a high-speed, newer wireless router if you choose to do video casting from an internet stream. When I started using the Google Chromecast, the picture would seize and go (buffering) frequently because my router was not fast enough. I replaced it with a new router with the highest speed available, and the problem disappeared and the video streams perfectly.
