max resolution of external display

What determines the max resolution of an external display connected to a 2017 MacBook? I have successfully connected a display capable of 2560x1440 via a HDMI cable, but only get 1080p.

MacBook, macOS 10.15

Sorry, clicked too fast. My question is NOT solved...

Thanks for the link. It is good information but only appears to confirm what already works for me.

Is there a way to increase the resolution beyond 1080p on an external display connected to a MacBook?
