Well, I do thank you for the suggestion Allen.  I tried the following:

Section "Monitor"
         Identifier      "Generic Monitor"
         ModelName       "TV-0"
         HorizSync       28-49
         VertRefresh     24-61
EndSection

Section "Device"
         Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
         Driver          "nvidia"
         Option          "DPI"   "100x100"
         Option          "UseEvents"     "1"
         Option          "AddARGBVisuals"        "1"
         Option          "AddARGBGLXVisuals"     "1"
         Option          "NoLogo"        "1"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
         Identifier      "Default Screen"
         Device          "Generic Video Card"
         Monitor         "Generic Monitor"
         Defaultdepth    24

         Option          "metamodes" "TV: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"

         SubSection "Display"
                 Depth   24
         EndSubSection
EndSection

And while it seemed to fit the screen a bit better with the correct 
resolution, the colours were 'out of wack'.  Lots of blue where there 
should have been grey, and a heck of a lot of bleed.

Adding in various TVStandard setting didn't help (once it was back to 
being freaking huge) and one attempt ended up with my component auto 
switch blinking like the signal was fluctuating on and off, a black 
screen, and a machine that required a power cycle to be able to do 
anything with it.

I think my set just does not like computers, it's the only thing that 
makes sense.
