HP USB-C Dock G5 - MacBook Pro 2019 - DVI Cable Resolution Maxed at 1080p

[Saad_Shaikh1]

Hi all,

I have a  MacBook Pro 2019 with 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports connected through the USB-C cable on the dock. The dock is connected to my LG Ultrawide Monitor (34GP83A-B) through a DVI Cable. My resolution is maxed at 1080p, played around with scaled settings and all of that to no luck. When I connect through a USB-C to HDMI cable to my monitor alone, I get a resolution of 1440p and also the widescreen ratio. I cannot get the same when I switch the source to my dock. Any body has a specific reason why it is limited and if there are any solutions to get more resolution through the dock?

Thanks.

My apologies. I meant display port. But it seems I am out of luck on the list of supported devices.
