OK.  First time, it worked.  Second time, it came up but in low res.  Plasma was working to, both times.  So, I opened the Nvidia GUI and told it to safe a new config with it in hi res mostly just to see what it would add if anything.  It did.  The only change I could see was it added metamodes options like this: Section "Screen" # Removed Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0"     Identifier     "Screen0"     Device         "Device0"     Monitor        "Monitor0"     DefaultDepth    24     Option         "Stereo" "0"     Option         "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" "DP-3"     Option         "metamodes" "1920x1080 +0+0" #    Option         "metamodes" "1920x1080 +0+0; 1024x768_60 +0+0"     Option         "SLI" "Off"     Option         "MultiGPU" "Off"     Option         "BaseMosaic" "off"     SubSection     "Display"         Depth       24     EndSubSection EndSection As you can see, I removed the low res part, don't want that anyway, and it seems to work more often but still fails a lot.  So, I removed the metamodes Nvidia added.  Then it didn't come up at all, sddm or anything, when I restarted DM.  I thought it adding your setting to another section might help.  Guess not.  With the following removed, it seems to do a little better but still can't depend on it to work.

Edit the section below by adding the PreferredMode line:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    VendorName     "Unknown"
    ModelName      "LG Electronics W2253"
    HorizSync       30.0 - 83.0
    VertRefresh     56.0 - 61.0
    Option         "PreferredMode"   "1920x1080_60.00"
    Option         "DPMS"
EndSection

Save it, then check if you get a consistent result when you restart the DM, or 
reboot.

If it is still playing up you need to show the Xorg.0.log while the monitor is 
working with the nvidia driver, to see which Modeline it uses and add this in 
the "Monitor" section too, above the "PreferredMode" entry.

If none of this works reliably, then you have to capture the EDID table while 
the monitor is working, save it in a file and set nvidia-settings to use it 
hereafter.  However, if you will NOT be using this monitor for much longer 
this would be an exercise only to make you feel good for beating it into 
submission!  LOL!
