I am trying to use my laptop with a second screen. For this I’d like to reduce the resolution of my laptop such that it matches with the 2nd screen. The problem is that only the highest resolution offered is 16:9 and all others are 4:3, such that there are always two black bars on my laptop. This is my xrandr output:

As you can see the upper screen eDP-1 only has one 16:9 resolution to offer, where the other has multiple ratios to offer. How can I add a 1920x1080 resolution for my laptop? These used to exists for other Linux distros.
Kind regards
