How do get video to hdmi TV port without using apple tv?

My new non retina macbook pro 13 inch is supposed to arrive soon. My old 42 inch Vizeo only has one hdmi port that works so I was planning to use it a s moniter for my DAW. The apple tv is for the living room, not the room where my DAW is. But as far as I can tell there is no mini display or anything on this computer other than thunderbold , usb and firewire, the firewire to be used for my MOTU audio interface. Any ideas on how to get this old VIzeo to be external moniter basically

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)

Take a look at this;

There's some additional links in there to the products themselves. Will allow you to connect it to the HDMI port on the TV and not have to use the Apple TV.

...BUT make first sure that the old Vizeo TV can display data over its HDMI port! Many TVs can not because they take only video signals via HDMI. Check the TV's manual on how to connect a data source!
