Problems with nvidia and hdtv

Question

Hello,
i'm having troubles using a specific TV (Metz) as monitor for my netbook.
graphics card is nvidia ION, netbook is Samsung N510.
There is no problem connecting to my Acer Monitor or my Grundig flat TV via HDMI and nvidia-settings - sound does also work.
When I try to connect to my parent's Metz TV it just don't work. I tried out every combination of 1920x1080 or 1360x768 resolution and every possible refresh rate in nvidia-settings - got no picture.
But sound does work on the Metz TV.
When I used Windows 7 it had no problems on that TV.
Does anyone have an idea? thx

add it in xorg configuration file OR (example from: man xrandr) force it
EXAMPLES
Sets an output called LVDS to its preferred mode, and on its right put
an output called VGA to preferred mode of a screen which has been phys‐
ically rotated clockwise:
xrandr --output LVDS --auto --rotate normal --pos 0x0 --output
VGA --auto --rotate left --right-of LVDS
Forces to use a 1024x768 mode on an output called VGA:
xrandr --newmode "1024x768" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771
775 798 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA 1024x768
xrandr --output VGA --mode 1024x768
Enables panning on a 1600x768 desktop while displaying 1024x768 mode on
an output called VGA:
xrandr --fb 1600x768 --output VGA --mode 1024x768 --panning
1600x0
Have one small 1280x800 LVDS screen showing a small version of a huge
3200x2000 desktop, and have a big VGA screen display the surrounding of
the mouse at normal size.
xrandr --fb 3200x2000 --output LVDS --scale 2.5x2.5 --output VGA
--pos 0x0 --panning 3200x2000+0+0/3200x2000+0+0/64/64/64/64
Displays the VGA output in trapezoid shape so that it is keystone cor‐
rected when the projector is slightly above the screen:
xrandr --fb 1024x768 --output VGA --transform
1.24,0.16,-124,0,1.24,0,0,0.000316,1
