Q: Unable to get Higher than 1600 X 900 Resulation

I have a Mac Mini late 2012. I purchased an Upstar M280A monitor that states with a DVI connection that I am using with the mini display adaptor to Dvi adaptor from Apple, I only get a choice 720, 1080 or 1600 X 900. The monitor is a 4K monitor and capable of displaying a resolution higher Than 1600 X 900. Can someone tell me how too get my Mac to display the higher resolution?

 

Thanks

John
