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. Edit the X
configuration with "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf", then restart to
test:

Section "Monitor"
       Identifier "Samsung" # LNA650

# from Samsung manual, for 1920x1080p:
# HorizSync 67.500
# VertRefresh 60.000
# http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Specifying_DPI_for_NVIDIA_Cards
        Option "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE"
        Option "DPI" "100 x 100"
EndSection


Change the "Samsung" appropriately.
