Current code say that a freezer or any appliance needs to be on it's own circuit. It will still work if it is not on a dedicated circuit.

Does an LCD TV need a dedicated electrical outlet?

A dedicated circuit assures that you do not have any external interference on the TV. The quality of today's TV's are very sensitive to fluctuations in the signal. Any interference will be reflected in the picture quality. If the circuit is not dedicated, a regular circuit will be shared sometime in the future to a wall plug outlet that a device will be plugged in. You have no idea what "noise" will be generated and reflected on the TV. Why take that chance. Fluorescent lights are incredibly noisy and will show on the TV.
