Okay, script failed to work for me for some reason. In the past this TV has given me fits as i suspect the EDID is borked but... the video seems to play well but my eye has occasionally caught what I thought might be glitches. In any case getting it setup more properly would make me happy and let me learn something too.
Failure in my case - X refuses to start back up (lol). I copied back the xorg from backup and saved off what was there that failed. The failed file is as follows:

I reencode all of my BD, the AVS script I uses specifies 23.9xx FPS so it's possible that's not even completely correct. I do note that my panel doesn't seem to support 24fps properly. The modes it reported looked screwed up compared to others too which I suspect is why things crashed. This panel is also apparently not native 1080 and in the past when I've done searches I've found people complaining about supporting it. Later Nvidia drivers seem to have worked better though! When this one is working better maybe I can get my OTHER newer Vizio tuned up too (lol). Also, I pass my video through an AVR but for testing could bypass.
So, how best to fix this or should I leave sleeping dogs where they be? If I can better optimize this, and better yet understand what I'm doing, I'd be pretty happy!
P.S. No I didn't read all 30+ pages but I did read a good chunk and will continue to read more so forgive me if I've asked a stupid question!
P.P.S Ran this on my second Vizio panel. Failed first attempt but got further. Second attempt it ran though fine and I was able to parse out the modes properly. This one supports a 59.94Hz mode but not the 23.9. Not quite a good enough excuse to upgrade the older panel I'm afraid
