Ongoing HDMI limited compatability

[tllim]

So why is your RPi not use 1080p @60.00Hz? This is the only physical resolution currently supported with my images.

So, from the edid data your monitor does not support 1080p @ 60Hz and thus does not work.

See http://paste.ubuntu.com/15954272/ as example for a TV which works without any issue (Toshiba).

Exactly the point. If a TV or Monitor wont accept 1080p in the Pine just doesnt work. It is not uncommon for 720p devices to not downscale from 1080p. So that is why it doesnt work. 

To verify I set the pi to force 1080p out and the screen no longer works.

Is there any possibility of you adding 720p support? That should cover another large portion of devices increasing compatibility?

This is software limitation and also push for more video resolution.
