You probably should not expect the same display quality on a "tv" display as a PC display.
Are they all using the same driver[*1], have you cycled through all the modes "they" support[*2], does your graphics card support all the modes your display is capable of, etc. [*2]Ctrl++, Ctrl--, or xrandr The actual model of your television will allow you to find out what it's capable of - unless the display shows errors you could presume that it is being detected properly, just not the same RRate/Resolution/driver. Please post the Debian information. Use pastebin.debian.net (or pastebinit).
