I have an X551CA laptop and an ASUS 2K monitor. I can connect the laptop and monitor, all works well, but my max resolution seems to be 1920x1080.

Any suggestions/advice on how to get the full 2K?

  • Can you please add the output of xrandr, run in a terminal, to your question. That might give more information.

  • Your external display is running at 1920x1200, which might be a limit. I don't know the CPU model and monitor model. You might want to add that as well to your question. Here is also an overview of the supported resolutions of the Intel Graphics.

    It looks like the Intel Graphics 4000 of the CPU does only support 1920x1200 over HDMI. With Display Port a higher resolution should be possible. According to this post, it also should be possible over HDMI, but I wouldn't suggest that.

The maximum resolution of the Intel HD Graphics 4000 of the i3-3217 CPU is 1920x1200 over HDMI, due to single link HDMI.

In this post there is a method that may work to increase to resolution.
Another option would be to use DisplayPort if possible, as DisplayPort should support a higher resolution out of the box.
