A dedicated outlet is a single circuit from a single or double pole breaker to a specific outlet or receptacle for a single specific device or appliance. An example of this would be a circuit for a refrigerator, microwave, dryer, range, etc..
This is typically referred to as a "dedicated circuit". A dedicated circuit usually is supplying power to only one or perhaps two receptacles, such as a computer station. An example in your home under current code is your washing machine is required to be on a dedicated circuit. Dedicated receptacle circuits may be either 15 or 20 amp.
A dedicated circuit is just what it sounds like. I'ts a circuit dedicated to one particular device. Most receptacle (you may call them outlet's) circuits will power several outlets. A dedicated circuit will power only one specific outlet or appliance. Some examples would be a refrigerator, a garbage disposal, or a microwave.

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.
