Direct answer
A missing native resolution can come from a bandwidth-limited cable/dock, mirror mode, wrong display selection or graphics driver—not the monitor’s physical size.

Capture the exact symptom
ReversibleIdentify the selected display and note cable, dock, refresh rate, HDR and duplicate/extend mode.
Run the smallest isolation test
ReversibleConnect the monitor directly with a known-capable cable, select it in Display settings and test its native resolution at a standard refresh rate.
Correct only the proven cause
ReversibleReplace the limiting adapter/path or update the correct graphics driver; avoid custom timings as a first step.
Verify before changing anything else
ReversibleReconnect after restart and confirm sharp text at the monitor’s native resolution.
