You have your displays set on Extended.
What this means is...it is seeing the Thinkpad and the TV as one large display. The laptop sees the regular stuff, the TV sees just ...not much.

You need to set them to Duplicate.
Right click on the desktop.
Select "Screen Resolution"
What does it say?

Hi, hold the Windows key and push P, you will have the different modes for an external monitor.
