No, the display's normal resolution is 2560x1440.

xrandr (on my laptop, connected to that screen) says:
HDMI-1 connected primary 2560x1440+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 597mm x 336mm
   2560x1440     59.95*+

$ cat /boot/firmware/config.txt
arm_64bit=1
enable_uart=1
upstream_kernel=1
kernel=vmlinuz-5.10.0-rc2
initramfs initrd.img-5.10.0-rc2

Should I try to force the video= parameter according to
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md ?
