Has anyone achieved a native 1920x1080 display using Lion with a Sony SCEI 3D monitor?

Question

I recently purchased a Sony 3D display to use with my PS3 and my Mac mini.  The playstation, of course, has no prblem with driving a beautiful 1920x1080 (16:9 format) display to the monitor (as well as a nice 3D display).  The 3D monitor indicated it was receiving a 1920x1080P60Hz video format.
However, the Mac, running Lion, does not appear to properly drive the display.  The Sony monitor menu indicated it was receiving a 1920x1080P60Hz display but only a subset of those pixels were active and accessible by a mouse pointer.  The system preferences indicated the software was driving a 1080P display.  There are no settings in the monitor that will affect the active pixel area as it is already set to 'full' which should yeild a 1:1 resolution display.  I tried changing the Lion display setting to 1600x900 and the monitor indocated it was receiving that format and as expected, the size of the display in active pixels remained the same.  This lead me to believe the Lion display driver was sending a 1920x12080 format signal but for some reason was only displaying in a 1600x900 area.  I then reverted back to the '1080P' display setting in system preferences.  Using the oversan button I could get all the pixels on the screen to be active but this resulted in a crummy display that interpolated the ~1600x900 up to the full 1920x1080 pixel area.  I believe the Lion software is incorrectly indentifying the Sony SCEI display as a 'TV' rather than an actial monitor.  My other Sony 1920x1200 (16:10 format) monitor works perfectly and does not have any 'overscan' button - as it shouldn't.
Here is the System Profiler output for the Sony 3D monitor.
I have also connected this monitor to my Mac Pro (Lion) using an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT and it behaves in the same manner.

bob_i_wa,
I have been narrowing this problem down but unfortonately I have not figured it out yet.  I have a Macbook Pro runingLion 10.7.2 and ever since I upgraded to Lion my 120 Hz, 1080P has not worked - it worked before the upgrade.  I found a post regarding the Display driver removed <
file://localhost/System/Library/Displays/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-410c/DisplayP roductID-0> and recently replaced it but without success.  My issue is that the MacBook recognizes the TV but the TV does not recognize the signal. 
I have tried all vidoe modes (formats) without success and will continue to troubleshoot.  I will post if I find an answer but I suspect we are missing a driver for 1080P TVs that was deleted by some careless developer at Apple.  This obvious error, as it was working in the previous OS, coupled with the issues in iOS 5 is starting to demonstrate that Apple is becomeing less interested in quality when releasing updates.  Since I have 6 Macs, 2 iPhones and 7 iPods all for home use, this is a concern as I must now begin to test Apple upgrades like I have to test MS upgrades.
I am very, very close to going back a version to resolve my issue, you may want to do the same if it works for me.
