You can add back: Option "metamodes" "1920x1080_60 +0+0" > Basically, it is doing like it always has. Most of the time, it doesn't > work. Sometimes it does.

The last thing left to try is to capture the EDID table with nvidia-settings, configure it to stop trying to load it from the monitor and instead feed the captured file to it. If that doesn't work either, then there is no solution I can think of ... > I will saw this, we threw the kitchen sink at it.

Hopefully this won't be the start of a new loooooong thread on yet another monitor! LOL!
