I understand that you're using the EDID. I pasted what modes I get
from EDID, hoping to point out that I have no 1920x1080_120i mode.
This:

(--) NVIDIA(0):   1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz
(--) NVIDIA(0):     Pixel Clock      : 74.25 MHz
(--) NVIDIA(0):     HRes, HSyncStart : 1920, 2008
(--) NVIDIA(0):     HSyncEnd, HTotal : 2052, 2200
(--) NVIDIA(0):     VRes, VSyncStart : 540, 542
(--) NVIDIA(0):     VSyncEnd, VTotal : 547, 562
(--) NVIDIA(0):     H/V Polarity     : +/+
(--) NVIDIA(0):     Extra            : Interlaced

is the highest mode EDID gives me.
