Is it possible to connect my MacBook to an LCD TV to watch streaming video, like Netflix?

I have a MacBook (2.16 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo). I can watch Netflix over the internet. It's sometimes just too small and quiet, so I'd like to be able to watch them on my LCD TV (Phillips 37" - 32PFL5332d/37).

Is it possible to do this? The TV has HDMI ports, a USB port, RCA ports, and something called S-Video.

Is it worth it? Will it be decent enough to watch? Will it be louder?

Thanks.

    "aviatingamateur" is right. I use my 46" Samsung as a monitor for my black MacBook. I use a miniDVI to DVI adapter into a DVI to HDMI cable. Something else to keep in mind, if you have a PS3 already hooked up to that TV, all you would need to do would be download & install "PS3 Media Server" on your MacBook. Then you could stream any videos you have on your MacBook to your TV thru the PS3 without needing any more wires. It's sweet.
