Extended display on macOS Monterey 12.1 doesnt have the 2560x1080 option

I have MacOS Monterey Version 12.1 -Display Built in retina display 13.3 Inch (2560 x 1600)-, i just got a LG Ultrawide 29" Monitor (2560x1080) .

when connecting the LG Ultrawide it says that the screen is not configured with the optimal resolution. The current resolution is 1920x1080 , optimal recommended resolution is 2560x1080.

when going to the display settings.. 2560x1080 is not an option... how can i get 2560x1080 to be a option to configure my extended display (LG Ultrawide 29")

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Never mind, installing LG OnScreen´s latest version works fine. It even got back 75Hz refresh rate.

When the display is connected and you have display settings open is there a box under that says "show all resolutions?"

Its possible that that resolution is not supported. Is there anything in the menu of the LG about scaling?

Downloaded LG OnScreen Control, but wouldn't solve the problem. I am having this problem since using the MacOS Monterey 12.1update. Is there anything else that could be done ?
