My Laptop has S-video TV output so i can use my 32 inch widescreen, but the images look terrible, as there are less pixels on a coventional TV screen.

You just need a graphics card with an S-video out. They are rather common these days.

As BlackBauer24 says, the image will be poor because of the low res of televisions and you will struggle to do everyday computer tasks, but it's nice to watch all those videos you download on a 28" widescreen
