Basically I'm looking at starting a little project for an App that would run on a PC and be displayed on a TV. Not something that would run directly on the TV firmware itself.
I guess as I think more about it, it would be like running a full screen app or game. If I'm using a TV as the monitor, I guess that's not really any different right? I should still be able to probe resolution and display size and all that just as I would in a webapp to ensure my layout stays constrained to the screen. I think whats throwing me a bit is I'm used to designing for a scrolling webpage layout with user interface. And what I'm looking at trying to do now is more of a display interface that will work across a variety of TV sizes that doesn't exactly have user input. It's more just display information that I want to stay constrained to the display size.
