external display doesn't show the correct list of resolution

I have connected SAMSUNG LS27R350FHNXZA 27" LED-Lit Monitor to my MacBook Pro (2019) running on Catalina 10.15.7. Under display preference, resolution -> scaled, it only show 1600x900, 1080p, 720p. It doesn't show the 1,920 x 1,080. Is there any driver I need to update my mac ?

Resolution of external monitor connected to Mac mini I have 2018 Mac mini with 10.15.7 Ver OS (Catalina). I have connected Eizo monitor with HDMI cable. I am getting resolution of 1920X1080. Eizo supports 2560X1440. In System Preferences when I go to Display and click on Scaled with "Option" key pressed, I am not able to see the 2560X1440 resolution to select. Any reason for this? Should I use any other cables like USB-C to HDMI/Display Port? Thanks a ton in advance.
