josh i had similar kinds of problems with my sony: my xorg.conf.d
nvidia.conf looks like this:
Section "Monitor" 
        Identifier    "HDMI-0" 
        VendorName    "SONY" 
        ModelName    "KDL40EX500"

        Option        "UseHotplugEvents"    "false"

    Modeline "1920x1080 at 50i" 74.250 1920 2448 2492 2640 1080 1085 1095
1125 +hsync +vsync Interlace
    Modeline "1920x1080 at 60i" 74.250 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1085 1095

    ModeLine "1920x1080 at 25" 74.250 1920 2448 2492 2640 1080 1084 1089
1125 +hsync +vsync
EndSection 
Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Card0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    Option         "ConnectedMonitor"   "DFP-2"
    Option         "UseEdidDpi" "False"
    Option         "DPI" "96 x 96"
    Option         "ModeValidation"
"AllowNonEdidModes,NoVesaModes,NoXServerModes"
    EndSection
this works for me and both myth and kodi change the refresh rates
properly.
