I hope that you can find the best solution to your liking!
I have an i3 2100 and a G620 and they both playback plenty "fluenty" on a DLP and LCD 1080p HDTV.
I have also used and tested ATI and NVidia extensively. No difference.
My approach is simple... Start with the integrated GPU and if for any reason you aren't satisfied THEN add a discrete card. No real reason to recommend one up front as a "cure all" when in some/most cases it might not be needed.
