Sorry guys, bad news. I tried the GeForce 210 setup mentioned above with 24" Benq LCD with 1920x1080 native res. EDID data seems to be correct:
http://rayer.g6.cz/1tmp/edid/BENQ24.TXT
http://rayer.g6.cz/1tmp/edid/DELL24.TXT
There are conclusions:

1) VESA mode list is really dynamic, built according to monitor specs.
2) EDID couldn't be readed if LCD is connected via analog VGA cable so VBIOS decided to pass only some generic VESA modes up to 1600x1200
3) EDID could be readed if LCD is connected via digital DVI/HDMI cable and VBIOS add/replace some VESA modes with wide VESA modes but neither 1920x1080 neither 1680x1080 is supported. Don't ask me why, just because nvidiots...

Solution: buy some older 1920x1200, it should work.

Benq 24" 1920x1080, analog VGA cable:
#27 = 145h - 1600x1200/8
#28 = 146h - 1600x1200/16
#29 = 14Ah - 1600x1200/32

Benq 24" 1920x1080, digital DVI/HDMI cable:
#27 = 160h - 1280x800/8
#28 = 161h - 1280x800/32
#29 = 162h - 768x480/8
#30 = 17Bh - 1280x720/32

Dell 24" 1920x1200, digital DVI/HDMI cable:
#27 = 145h - 1600x1200/8
#28 = 146h - 1600x1200/16
#29 = 14Ah - 1600x1200/32
#30 = 160h - 1280x800/8
#31 = 161h - 1280x800/32
#32 = 162h - 768x480/8
#33 = 17Bh - 1280x720/32
#34 = 17Ch - 1920x1200/8
#35 = 17Dh - 1920x1200/32
