I recently received a new work PC, a micro desktop with a maximum resolution of 1920X1080. However, my main monitor is 2K, and everything looks blurry and oversized. It feels impractical for professional use.
I looked into Windows 11’s ‘super resolution’ feature, but it’s not available on my machine. Adjusting monitor settings to downscale isn’t an option either (Asus VG27WQ1B).
Existing upscaler apps focus on images or specific apps, not the entire video output to the monitor. Is there a solution to upscale the video output to match my monitor? I’m open to hardware suggestions too, as staring at this screen for 9 hours daily is daunting.
Any PC with Windows 11 should handle 1440p at 60Hz, suitable for office tasks. Check Device Manager for display drivers; missing drivers can limit resolution.

Both display adapter and monitor drivers are up-to-date. Same cable worked fine with my previous PC at 1440p.
If your PC maxes at 1080p, verify why; hardware upscaling within Windows might not be feasible. Diagnosing limits (IT help may be needed). Check cables and refresh rates.

Display settings max at 1920X1080; no higher options.
