Why is my monitor stuck on 1024x768 resolution?

Asked by Wanderlust88
I recently purchased an Onn monitor that supports 2560 x 1440 resolution, but when I plug it in and turn it on, it only displays at 1024 x 768. Is there an easy way to fix this issue?

Check if you're connecting the monitor directly to your GPU rather than using your motherboard's ports. That's a common mistake. Also, make sure you've got the latest drivers installed for both your GPU and the monitor.

Are you using HDMI or DisplayPort for your connection? HDMI can sometimes limit resolution, while DisplayPort generally supports higher resolutions better.
