You have several possiblities that I can think of.  Most CGA cards also have
a composite output as well as a standard RGB output (the composite is
an RCA jack).  All that you have to do is either get a combination 
monitor/tv which will accept this signal (many tv's can do this), or modulate
the signal so that a TV can use it.  You can either buy or make a modulator.  
You also might be able to modify a modulator from on older computer such
as a vic-20.  If you want an even easier solution you can use a VCR as
a modulator.  All you do is plug the composite output of the CGA card
into the video input (not cable or antenna) on the VCR.  Then just hook
the VCR up to the TV normally and set it to receive its signal from the
video input.

Another possible solution is a large RGB monitor.  When I worked for IBM we
had a massive screen that we used to be able to read from 40 feet away.
(yes, I mounted tapes for IBM, exciting or what?)

Anyway, hope you work it out.
I believe that the screen was made by SONY. (But am not sure)
