Q: macbook retina and external display resolution

I have a MacBook Retina 12-inch Early 2015 with an Apple USB-C multiport adapter that has an HDMI connector. I am trying to use a Dell 27'' u2713hm monitor with a HDMI cable. However, the display preferences do not permit me to set the resolution. I have the choice between Default for display (and this is 1080 px, even though the monitor has a native resolution of 2560x1440) and scaled which offers 1080 or lower resolution. How do I use my monitor at its full resolution with the HDMI connector I have on the multiport adapter?

 

Thanks for your help
