Limited 1080p output to HDTV

Update:
It seems I am only able to set the resolution to 480,720,1080i and get a picture on the tv. Not to any resolutions like, 1600x900 or 1400x900 when mirroring.
When I try to set it to on of these resolutions I get a black screen on my tv.

Thanks for the reply. I have looked at the settings being sent from The TV and they appear to match the 1080p (NTSC) 60hz setting on swithresx. However i still see no picture on the TV. I'd be grateful If you could guide me through some steps to set the custom timing perhaps that will fix it.

I tried all the 1080p options that appear, 24/50/60 hz. However if I choose a specific resolution ie. 1440x900 I get no picture on tv. Im not sure if this another symptom to this issue, but maybe this info might be a known problem with a fix.

I ordered the official apple mini DP to DVI, hopefully that will fix it. Ill update here when it arrives. Thanks again BSteely.

The official apple mini DP to DVI arrived today, and know the macbook pro doesn't recognise any the TV.

I am at a total loss now ;(

Thanks for the reply again BSteely, this is the Export using the 3rd party mini DP adapter, as the apple mini DP adapter does not show/recognise the monitor in the the system preferences.

Update: I tried a friends 720p tv, and got no response with the apple DP->DVI, but the the third party worked fine.

I have one ordered, Ill try that asap. I really have to thank you for spending your time troubleshooting this with me. I appreciate it a lot 😉

I frickin love you man, the new DVI-> HDMI Arrived today, and I can get 1080p@60hz using the 3rd party mini DP->DVI. The apple one still shows no display, but Im just happy I got it working. Thanks for all your help BSteely 😀
