Ah ok, first off, its as I suspected, your TV and most like all tv's are DFP-0

Use this for your TV specific. Ive corrected the xorg to match your TV including
HorizSync : 15.000-46.000 kHz
VertRefresh : 48.000-61.000 Hz

As for 1920x1080 Your Tv supports @60Hz interlaced only @50Hz non interlaced which @50Hz is what I defined.
your xorg complains

Code:
[    20.480] (II) NVIDIA(0):   Validating Mode "1920x1080":

If the xorg above doesnt set your TV to correct 1920x1080 we may have to replace this

Code:
Modeline         "1920x1080_50"         74.25    1920  2448  2492  2640  1080  1084 1089  1125 +hsync +vsync

with this

Code:
[code]Modeline         "1920x1080_60i"         74.18    1920  2008  2052  2200  1080  1084 1089  1124 +hsync +vsync

You will need to reboot after each xorg modification for safe measure.

If it still doesn't work we can comment out

Code:
Option                "ExactModeTimingsDVI"    "True"
put a # before -Option-

I cant be sure that it fixes it but it could be your TV is very picky (it is) and has a crap upscaler

You could also upgrade your video drivers to 304.60 if you haven't already done that. (xswat ppa)
