Unrecognized Monitor

[Victor Odhner]

I'm trying to bring an unknown monitor up to full resolution.
It's a Visio E241-A1 (TV set), claiming 1920x1080.
I’m running Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia, with Mate.
The computer (a new desktop) also drives an HDMI cable to a projector, but that’s turned off right now.

I used --newmode with xrandr and it seemed to accept that,
but then the --addmode said it didn’t know the new mode:

    xrandr: cannot find mode 1920x1080_60.00

Details below.
So, is there a way to make this work?

The Details:

xrandr: cannot find mode 1920x1080_60.00

Here's the advice I've been working for:
