IP based Tvs? The capability?

I was going through a few forums trying to get more info on Ethernet capable TVs. Does anyone know the extent of the capability for TVs that have Ethernet jacks? Can they access file servers on a network they are assigned to? What I wanted to do is implement these in conference rooms and have the capability to display laptop screen (RDP or similar) on the TV wirelessly. I looked into Wi-Fi Direct, but it seems like that is limited to just the TV searching for media files on a Wi-Fi direct capable device and displaying them. I was hoping since the TV has an Ethernet port I could assign it an IP address on my network and access content through our servers. Does anyone have any knowlege on this?
