How do I convert a USB port to an HDMI Port?

I want to buy a computer that is real cheap, but it has no HDMI port. I hear you can buy an adapter that will make a USB port and HDMI port.

You can buy a USB to HDMI Converter online, the user will plug the Converter into the USB port on the PC. Once the Adapter is plugged in the computer the user will install the Drivers, which will recognize the Converter. Once Converter is recognized the user can plug an HDMI cable from the PC to the Television.

You have to buy a particular device, called USB to HDMI. Such devices are quite expensive (80$) so probably it is better to get a laptop with a HDMI port.
