You shouldn't do that unless the TV can't handle standard timing parameters correctly. You're just wasting bandwidth with a higher pixel clock. Use the "LCD standard" timing option.

I don't understand what you mean because the problem doesn't make sense. If you mean the resolution is selectable in the NVIDIA control panel but not in the Windows screen resolution settings, then I don't see how that could happen unless there's a driver bug. If you mean the resolution is listed in the NVIDIA control panel as a "Custom" resolution instead of a "PC" or "HD" resolution, then that could only happen if you added a custom resolution using the NVIDIA control panel, but then it should also be listed in the Windows screen resolution settings. CRU resolutions wouldn't be listed as "Custom" resolutions, and you don't need to add the same resolutions with both.

The first detailed resolution in the main window is considered the native resolution. Your screen shot covers up the main window, so I can't see what you have defined for the native resolution. You need to define the resolution you want to be native as the first detailed resolution.

CRU is not driver-specific. CRU will work with any driver that supports Windows EDID overrides.

That is the case with single-link DVI and HDMI on older cards. Newer cards can handle higher pixel clocks with HDMI, but HDMI support must be defined in the extension block or it will behave like single-link DVI.

The hdmi.dat file just contains an HDMI support data block with the default settings, so you don't need it if you already added it manually.

Some monitors won't send an EDID when they're off or switched to a different input, which can cause problems with monitor detection. Did you get everything sorted out?

yes everything worked out fine. your money will be arriving at the end of the week. If not then it will be the week after. LCD standard is a good option definitely but I have run some tests on a 16x9 ratio calculator and found many other alternatives making the tv look slightly better every time I find a better one. the problem is blur on the scaling.. I dont know if you own or used this tv but at 1440p in order to get 60hz, you sacrifice a lot of picture quality which i am trying to iron out now that the pixel clock is unlocked up to 325Mhz (hardware limit i think). with the original firmware the TV allocated 4400 total pixel width and 2250 height at 1440p if my memory serves. When this is applied it looks wonderful but obviously the pixel clock skyrockets and can only handle 31hz. I am guessing it is just due to the fact the tv is actually running a 4k res but scaling it to 1440p. So I will tinker and tinker some more until I remove this blur. Although it is noticeably better than 1080p (blocky) I am still hoping to achieve atleast 45fps for gaming at a very clear 1440p. I doubt you could have any suggestions since you probably dont own the device and already suggested your recommended timings which amount to a measly 247MHz pixel clock, but I would love for this to be the TV I was looking so forward to receiving. either way CRU is a great utility and I am very thankful for you taking the time to program it as I know next to nothing of EDID customization. But I am going to tear the firmware apart see if i can hex edit some binaries to lower some voltages and allow more power to a single hdmi port and see how hard I can push the pixel clock.
