I managed to get X working, but the display is HUGE :(

Relatively low resolution on a large display makes for big pixels!

I have tried messing with the TV menu settings, but that is not
getting me anywhere.

I have output /var/log/Xorg.0.log in

Looks like X is choosing 1360x768 and working. It's the TV that's being snooty about showing the signal it receives. You could try forcing it to one of the lower modes in xorg.conf, like 1024x768.

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "TSB"
        ModelName    "205"
        VertRefresh  59-72
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        SubSection "Display"
                Modes "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

The log shows that it gets this information from the monitor already, and is already trying to use the right resolution. Hard to say what the TV is doing. If it's touchy about refresh rate, that can be restricted to just a single rate:

        VertRefresh  60
