After much trial an error, I was finally able to get 1080P to work with my Acer AT3705 TV via DVI. Originally, it was only detecting 1368x768 max resolution.

I'm able to select 1920x1080@30Hz, 25Hz, and 24Hz. Unfortunately, my TV doesn't support higher refresh rates via DVI. The quality between DVI, and HDMI with my TV is like night, and day. DVI is way sharper.

Here's my xorg.conf file.

Code:
