May be.

Not that I know much of it, but anyone answering would for sure like to know these details:

What graphics card do you have (Intel, NVidia ...)?
Which X driver do you use (Vesa, Intel, NVidia-glx-*, ...)?

How do you connect the LCD TV to your T61?
(TV-out, analog VGA, DVI, DVI-to-HDMI, ...)

For all except TV-out:
What is the native resolution of your LCD TV?
Have you checked your refresh rate against the LCD TV's specs?

Do DVDs or Videos or some other source play normally on your LCD TV?
(Preferrable something that uses the TV's same input as your T61)

Kind regards,

Christoph
