I have a laptop with a FHD screen, an Intel UHD 620, an Intel i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz, 16GB RAM, Antergos Linux and Gnome.
How could I use my WQHD monitor with WQHD, I only see the possibility to use the monitor with FHD.
How do you connect it? With VGA is no WQHD, if it should be.
No, with HDMI
The cable per se is 4k @ 60 FPS capable, I just wonder how I could move the laptop to do so
Ignore this line if it does not tell you anything: Antergos, arch-based, and Arch default does not use Wayland (or?) - which you probably do not use Wayland with?
Try the terminal
xrandr
to type - and show us the issue.
Not the slightest idea if I use Wayland or not. Many thanks for your response. Here is the output

Hmm, is actually not recognized internally… Would have been too nice, if the graphical interface had simply bent…
I still have to ask again:
The cable per se is 4k @ 60 FPS capable
You can do that with a cable (unfortunately) i.d.R. Do not look.
But is (relatively) new cable - and synonymous reasonably high quality (so not 2 euro somewhere from the Internet?
You do not happen to have a second HDMI cable somewhere - just to be sure?
I just wonder how I could move the laptop to it
Well, you can force your laptop.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrandr#Adding_undetected_resolutions
WQHD is 2560 × 1440. In your case - copy paste:
xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_60.00" 312.25 2560 2752 3024 3488 1440 1443 1448 1493 -hsync + vsync
xrandr --addmode HDMI1 2560x1440_60.00
xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 2560x1440_60.00
Changes are basically only temporary - so it should come to display errors or black screens (can happen) just reboot PC - and is again as before. Hardware damage due to improper resolution should be ruled out today - modern screens are expected to be protected accordingly.
If the commands work, we can make the changes permanent. Pay attention in this case also immediately whether the font size / UI (also in comparison to the FullHD monitor) is pleasantly displayed - that can also be set.
Addendum:
Intel video drivers are installed? In case of doubt, try:
sudo pacman -Sxf86-video-intel
Xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed
and
X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (RRCreateMode)
Serial number of failed request: 35
Current serial number in output stream: 35
Oh, you may have to ask someone who knows the X better than me.
https://stackoverflow.com/...-not-exist
Do you think you should use other names - but no idea… Try it is worth - otherwise ask better, for example In the Arch Forum.
xrandr --newmode "uhd" 312.25 2560 2752 3024 3488 1440 1443 1448 1493 -hsync + vsync
xrandr --addmode HDMI1 uhd
xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode uhd
Many Thanks!
