Huh. Weird. Do startx /bin/firefox and see if it happens there

i know very little about monitors but my very uneducated guess is maybe the tv uses a different colour profile to my monitor and windows auto-changed it but on linux its using the same as my monitor

Firefox is just a program to test with. You can replace it with anything.
