It does but it only support a max resolution of 1024x768 which naturally looks rather big and pixelated on my screen...
And how come man? is it at all different? my old card which ran the rift fine is half as good as this onboard graphics card so theoretically it should run better?

Hmm, then its going to be tricky. You can try to use a VR desktop application and then only use the Rift, but i have a feeling that it will be kind of frustrating. The only other think i can think is trying a really old used video card for next to nothing and then use that with the TV and the onboard graphics with the Rift ( i know you said you dont have money to buy anything, but a sufficiently old video card might be practically free).And how come man? is it at all different? my old card which ran the rift fine is half as good as this onboard graphics card so theoretically it should run better?
A new i5 has Intel HD 4600 onboard graphics i believe? I brought my DK1 to work one day and used my work desktop machine for the demonstration, it has a 4770k CPU which also has HD 4600 graphics. Even with the lower resolution DK1, many demos were unplayable running at perhaps 30 fps. I dont think it would be pretty with the dk2's higher resolution and higher target fps (75 vs 60 fps). What was your old gfx card?
Looking at say passmark scores, the 4600 has a score of 729 putting it alongside cards like a GT 530. My old card, (Radeon HD6870) that i just upgraded from (because it wasnt fast enough for Dk2 use, struggling in a few demos), has a score of 2583.

As another note, you could always sell the TV, get a good monitor and a gtx 970. Priorities.

My old one was a Radeon HD 4th series but it boasted 4GB Graphics RAM so it played latest on medium to high no problems lol.

I NEED to be able to use my rift... what can I do?
(Also don't suggest buying things... the NHS has turned its back on me and decided I need to pay my medical fees... I already spend food money on that so hungry enough as it is!)
