Monitor Resolution Problem in Acer SB220Q All of a sudden, display becomes oversized

I use an Acer SB220Q as a second monitor. All of a sudden, for no reason I can figure, the display is now "oversized," meaning it's bigger than can fit on the screen and I only see the center section of the desktop wallpaper. I've tried everything I could think of, including playing with the monitor settings and the Windows 11 Display Settings, but nothing works. The max resolution that Windows will allow me to select for that second monitor is 1920 x 1080, but clearly is needs to be higher. Does anyone have any ideas, or experienced this and found a solution? Thank you.

    Please try connecting the monitor to a different computer to see if the problem persists. This can help determine if the issue is with the monitor itself or the computer's configuration.

    It sounds like it might be movie mode, where you don't want a black border surrounding the video:
