Already posted once here. Sorry if reposting is looked down upon, but I just feel like my thread is long gone in the pile of old threads by now.

As it says in the title; My Lenovo Ideapad laptop won't use the correct resolution when I attempt to change it. Currently I have 1920x1080 selected, but the actual resolution given is 1280x720 (checked with whatismyresolution.com as well as YouTube nerd stats, windows are also way too big on my screen for it to actually be 1080p). Any idea what causes this and how this can be fixed?

Also, every other resolution is incorrect and actually gives a lower resolution than selected, not just the 1920x1080p one. And yes, my laptop screen is supposed to support 1080p FHD.

Tried updating graphics drivers and fiddling with settings in the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel - nothing has helped. The laptop is running internal Intel graphics.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Maybe because the screen does not support 1920x1080?
