Full Resolution with Dell U2713HM and 16“ M1

Hello all, I have a Dell U2713HM 27” monitor. I am using a DVI to USB-C but not able to get the full resolution from the monitor which is 2560x1440. That resolution is supported by both DVI and Display Port. I have searched and read that there are issue with USB-C and some Dell monitors. Works great using DisplayPort with my old 2012 MPB. My question is will I get full resolution if I get a DisplayPort to USB-C cable? I know it should theoretically work but am curious if anyone has made this work. Thanks!

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Thanks again, I actually found an old 3’ cable and it works. I have a 6’ ordered. Problem solved! So for anyone having this issue that’s the fix!

Thanks for the quick response. I went ahead and ordered a cable. I’ll report back next week on where it works or not!
