Using HD LCDtv at reasonable resolution produces artifacts - Need Aide

My situation is this: Nvidia DVI --> HDMI on Polaroid 32" TFT LCD TV FLM-323
The issue is that Nvidia's drivers refuse to see the actual native resolution (1366x768) and set it to a blurry 1280x720. I've gotten it up to a comfortable 1280x768 using the ExactTimingsDVI True option in xorg::device, however I now getting sparkling artifacts on the screen. Any ideas to keep the more natural resolution and rid it of sparkles? Maybe even to step it up to the fully native resolution?

Included here is what I believe to be the relevant sections of my xorg.conf, please note the considerable additions in the device section and the altered metamode line (setting it to 1366x768 or 1360x768 does not work):
