Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the help and the quick response.

I don't see any marking on the HDMI cable I'm using so I'm guessing it
isn't one a high quality one.

So, I played around with the refresh rates and got it to work at a lower
refresh rate:

xrandr --addmode HDMI-2 2560x1440_24.00
xrandr --output HDMI-2 --mode 2560x1440_24.00
xrandr --newmode  "2560x1440_24.00"  113.75  2560 2648 2904 3248  1440 1443
1448 1463 -hsync +vsync

This ties in with the poor quality cable idea.

Thanks again for the assistance,
Jerry.

Title:
  [i915] HDMI monitor's native resolution (EDID detailed mode) not
  available, defaults to 1080p instead

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux-hwe-5.11 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The PG278QR monitor supports 2560x1440.  After installing Ubuntu 20.4,
  the max resolution presented in the Settings app is 1920x1080, and
  this resolution is the one that it uses.  Switching between the Nvidia
  driver or the Intel driver (laptop has low-power intel gpu too)
  doesn't correct the problem.

  Digging in deeper, based on
  
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution#Problem:__Wrong_resolutions.2C_refresh_rates.2C_or_monitor_specs

  Under Wrong resolutions/refresh rates/or monitor specs, step 3 is to
  use get-edid | parse-edid.

  After applying the mode that I wanted manually via xrandr --newmode
  and xrandr --addmode, I was able to select the max resolution of the
  monitor and works correctly, until reboot.  I will add it to my
  xorg.conf next.

  Here is information I collected:

  output from xrandr after fresh boot:

  3 potential busses found: 0 4 8
  Will scan through until the first EDID is found.
  Pass a bus number as an option to this program to go only for that one.
  Bus 0 doesn't really have an EDID...
  256-byte EDID successfully retrieved from i2c bus 4
  Looks like i2c was successful. Have a good day.

  "Mode 0" above is the mode that I want to use, which doesn't appear in
  the Settings app list of available resolutions.

  I used "Mode 0" to via xrandr --newmode:
  ~$ xrandr --newmode "Mode 0" 241.50 2560 2608 2640 2720 1440 1443 1448 1481 
+hsync -vsync

  Then, xrandr --addmode:
  ~$ xrandr --addmode HDMI-1-1 "Mode 0"

  Then in Settings app, I can select the 2560x1440 resolution for the ASUS 
PG278QR display.
