Tcl70, my Samsung LNA650 HDTV also shows huge fonts, for some applications but not others. This TV also reports a ridiculous size. The fix is to tell X to ignore the bogus EDID from the television.

I found this to work, at least with my nvidia graphics card:

Section "Monitor"
       Identifier "Samsung" # LNA650

# from Samsung manual, for 1920x1080p:
# HorizSync 67.500
# VertRefresh 60.000

        Option "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE"
        Option "DPI" "100 x 100"
