Thanks!
How do I do this? Running an ethernet cable is no problem at all.

Couple options depending on how far of a run this is.
1. Get an active HDMI cable from Monoprice.com - They sell them unto 100' and just run an HDMI cable from the NVR/PC to the TV.
2. If your run will be over 100' then get an HDMI over Ethernet kit and pull
2 cat5e/cat6 cables from the NVR to the TV where you want the display to be.
3. If you will want mouse control in this location as well look at USB over ethernet adapters so you can then place a USB mouse in the same room thus pulling another ethernet cable for this.
1. 100' HDMI over ethernet extender - cheaper then a 100' HDMI cable

So you should run 3 ethernet cables from your NVR/PC to your TV/Monitor location of choice. Use the HDMI extenders to provide HDMI picture (needs 2 ethernet cables) and then pickup a wireless mouse to plug in the USB extension thus giving you monitor control (on the 3rd cable).
I've done this with an Acer touch screen and Samsung touch screen monitor before giving full monitor and NVR control via a touch screen in another portion of the house that is mounted on the wall while the NVR is hidden/secure somewhere else.
Example, I have a 21" Acer touch screen mounted in our kitchen that is showing all cameras and also gives me full control via the touch interface, so I can replay, change settings, and even export to a usb stick or drive via the USB ports on the side of the monitor if I need to. Not to mention if I want to change the view so only a few cameras are displayed its quick and simple.
