Have you looked at xrandr, sample output if I run it without switches is:

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
DVI-I-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-I-1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis
y axis) 476mm x 268mm

I would also go back to basics and double check I had the TV on the right
input channel and the laptop didn't have any switches to enable / disable
external displays/

Rgds

Peter.
