No options for external monitor resolution on M2 Macbook Air

I'm trying to calibrate my external monitor with a different resolution than the default setting. Normally this isn't issue, but now when I open up System Settings and click on Displays, it no longer presents me a list of resolutions to choose for my external monitor whatsoever:

Usually there's a list of resolutions to choose from, and depending on what I'm using the monitor for, I can adjust the resolution directly. Now it gives me no option whatsoever. What can I do to change the resolution on my external display?

MacBook Air (M2, 2022)

Can't see my iMac 2019 as an external monitor with default resolution which is 3200x1800 Hello, I wanted to use my iMac (2019) as an external monitor through my MacAir M1 but it only showed 4k as a clear but it's not possible to change it. I'm trying that default resolution on the iMac, which is 3200x1800, but I can't see it in the list on MacAir, and I also can't add another resolution as manually. I saw some discussion in the community but unfortunately Apple does not care about it. Yes, please take care of your users issue/s than new things! Thank you, Jufs

4k external monitor resolution issues Using an external 4k monitor on a Mac mini 2018 running Mojave. When I scale my Ui to the largest setting on display preferences according to system profiler my native resolution goes down to 1440p. Is there a way to fix this besides scaling it back to a smaller setting?
