Monitor Resolution Only going up to 720p

I have an LG display that I connect via HDMI to my MacBook Pro (13-inch 2017). Sometimes it gives me the option of 1080p, but most times it just gives me 720. I try to restart my laptop or reconnect, but it won't work.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

Check if your HDMI cable supports 1080p. Sometimes cheap HDMI cables don't support 1080p or higher which will block your resolution from going higher. Sometimes the dongle you use does this as well.
