The maximum resolution of the Acer V196HQL 1366 x 768 @ 60 Hz. It may not sound like a lot but it’s only a $99 monitor.
I’ll walk you through my system to setup that resolution and you can substitute my monitor name for your own below:
$ xrandr --current
eDP-1-1 connected primary 1920x1080+3840+2160 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 382mm x 215mm
1920x1080 60.02*+ 60.01 59.97 59.96 59.93 48.02

840x525 60.01 59.88
864x486 59.92 59.57
800x512 60.17
700x525 59.98

640x480 60.00 59.94
720x405 59.51 58.99
684x384 59.88 59.85
680x384 59.80 59.96
640x400 59.88 59.98
576x432 60.06
640x360 59.86 59.83 59.84 59.32
512x384 60.00
512x288 60.00 59.92
480x270 59.63 59.82
400x300 60.32 56.34
432x243 59.92 59.57
320x240 60.05
360x202 59.51 59.13
320x180 59.84 59.32
The first step is to get the signals using the cvt command:
$ cvt 1366 768
# 1368x768 59.88 Hz (CVT) hsync: 47.79 kHz; pclk: 85.25 MHz
Modeline "1368x768_60.00" 85.25 1368 1440 1576 1784 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync
The last line you will mostly copy and paste into the next command:
$ xrandr --newmode "1368x768_60.00" 85.25 1368 1440 1576 1784 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync
- On my machine it prefers 1368x768 but copy and paste what your machine shows
Now we need to add the new mode to your monitor:
$ xrandr --addmode eDP-1-1 1368x768_60.00
- Remember your machine uses
VGA-0instead of myeDP-1-1
Last step is to activate the new VGA-0:
$ xrandr --output eDP-1-1 --mode 1368x768_60.00
VOILA!
