Display resolution means the number of pixels that make up your LG Monitor screen. To put it simply, the more pixels a monitor screen has, the clearer and sharper the image will be. LG Monitor resolutions are fixed and cannot be increased beyond their limit. For example, If your LG monitor has a resolution of 1920 × 1080, it means that you can only change with a similar resolution or lower, but not higher. Remember that selecting a resolution above the maximum the LG monitor can support will cause an issue.
However, usually the Device Output resolution of external devices connected to your LG monitor can be adjusted. To learn more about it, go through this article.

How to Fix LG Monitor Resolution Problem
To fix an LG monitor resolution problem, try the solutions discussed below.
- Ensure you’re using a compatible cable (HDMI, DisplayPort, etc.) and that it’s securely connected to both the monitor and the PC.
- Make sure your GPU drivers are up to date. Go to the manufacturer’s website for the latest drivers (Nvidia, AMD, or Intel).
- Use the monitor’s on-screen display (OSD) menu to check for any settings that could limit the resolution or aspect ratio.
- In Windows, adjust the display scaling settings (100%, 125%, etc.) to ensure proper resolution support.
- Connect the LG monitor to a different computer or laptop to see if the problem persists, which helps identify whether the problem is with the LG monitor or the original PC.
- Verify that your LG monitor supports the resolution you’re trying to set. If it doesn’t, try a lower resolution.
- If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it may be worth checking for hardware defects or consulting LG support.
