Have you tried something similar to the following ? -

SubSection     "Display"

        #          1080p           720p            480p
        Depth       24
        Modes      "1920x1080_60" "1280x720_60" "720x480_60"
EndSubSection

Works like a charm on my Panasonic 42PX80 (using GeForce 8300 chipset), I
don't have any custom modelines configured. See here -
