The video below shows OS X AirPlay Mirroring in action on a HDTV, and as you can see from the video you will be able to display your full OS X desktop on your HTDV via an Apple TV device.
How OS X AirPlay Mirroring Works
OS X AirPlay Mirroring is designed to make it incredibly easy to share your Mac’s screen with a larger display. This feature leverages the capabilities of Apple TV to wirelessly stream whatever is on your Mac’s screen to your HDTV. This can be particularly useful for a variety of scenarios, such as giving presentations, watching movies, or even playing games on a larger screen. The process is seamless and requires minimal setup. Once your Mac and Apple TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, you can simply select the AirPlay icon from the menu bar on your Mac and choose your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
Practical Applications and Benefits
The practical applications of OS X AirPlay Mirroring are vast.

In educational environments, teachers can use it to display educational content, such as videos or interactive lessons, to the entire class.
For home users, the benefits are equally compelling. Imagine being able to stream your favorite movies or TV shows from your Mac directly to your HDTV without the need for any cables. This can transform your living room into a mini home theater. Gamers can also take advantage of this feature by playing their favorite Mac games on a larger screen, providing a more immersive gaming experience.
Moreover, OS X AirPlay Mirroring supports high-definition video and audio streaming, ensuring that the quality of the content is not compromised. This makes it an excellent option for those who are particular about the quality of their media consumption.
