I am using an European version this TV and will try to describe problems I have here.
Connected to a Nvidia 7300GT with an DVI to HDMI cable.
I was not able to get the TV setup to 1080p with 50hz, so I choosed 1080p and 60hz. Then afterwards I changed the xorg.conf and changed/added the folowing lines :
Option "UseEDIDDpi" "false" Option "UseEDID" "true"
Modes "1920x1080_50" VertRefresh 49-51
and rebooted. After that I had 50hz.
The line "1920x1080_50" uses the EDID information it gets of the TV and sets things up correctly. In the /var/log/Xorg.0.log you can then see that it chooses the right resolution.
"UseEDIDDpi" "false" is important, otherwise you will get very small unreadable characters.
Alternate solution (I used first).
I was not able to get the TV setup to 1080p with 50hz, so I choosed 1080p and 60hz. Then afterwards I changed the xorg.conf to the right 1080p@50hz Modeline i found in the HDTV list in the MythTV modeline database.
# 1920x1080 @ 50 Hz (EDID) HSync: 56.25 kHz
ModeLine "1920x1080" 148.50 1920 2448 2496 2640 1080 1084 1089 1125 +HSync +VSync
And changed the VertRefresh to :
VertRefresh 49-51
and rebooted. After that I had 50hz.
