Hey,
  The modeline is a good place to start
start, the next option might be to look through the manual and see if it has
the vertical and horizontal sync rates as they may not be being detected
correctly. The only information I found by googling was a vertical sync in a
spec sheet: 1360x768 at 60Hz.
 It'll probably be a fix in Xorg.conf, but it's worth seeing if there is a
more recent firmware revision that may have this solved. Their website
indicates that the tv has a USB port for this. It may not be you at all :)


Thanks for the information Ed.  I edited the configuration file with part of

There is also the bandaid approach of adding nvidia-settings to the startup
sequence for now.
System->Preferences->Session->Startup Programs->Add
