I want to get this NAS and throw some of the movies and family videos on there for them (as well as use it for all of my own stuff). Now, if a LCD TV has an ethernet port…is it safe to assume it’s DLNA compatible? Meaning, I can stream to it? NewEgg just lists that it has a port, but doesn’t specify if it’s DLNA compatible or not.

No an ethernet port does not necessarily mean it is DLNA compatible. Even if it is, they are very format picky alot of the time. I use a PS3 hooked through HDMI to my tv. I use tversity on my media server to stream to the PS3. Your best bet is going to be some type of XBOX Media Center setup, as that software is VERY robust.
