Dell U4919DW / MacBook Pro - 5k Resolution Issue

Hi,


I've recently bought a Dell U4919DW screen that is connected to my late 2018 MBP through usb-c.


I'm not offered the option of selecting the 5120x1440 resolution under monitor configuration on OSX.


I don't want to be running the screen using two different input connection + PBP.


Since the resolution is supported by both the MBP and the monitor, how can I get it working?


Thank you.

Kind regards

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15
