From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Maybe you just need to "enable" it in the display settings of your DE.
The GUI display settings for mint Debian edition don't have an enable/disable button on my machine. It shows that the TV is connected as monitor 2.
You should have a display enable/disable switch in LMDE's "Display" settings GUI, though it shouldn't be necessary? Please try another (few) cable(s) because they do vary. Anecdote: I've heard of Samsungs being picky like this and only refusing to work with that one device you are trying to use.
Edit: Can your mouse pointer or windows get to the missing screen? Also
xrandr -qshows display status.
