I have a laptop that started behaving strangely when I updated to Fedora 39. It has a GTX 1080, and I am running the NVIDIA binary drivers. Since the upgrade, the monitor goes into 1920x1080 resolution after I log in. I’ve set the gdm resolution to 3840x2160, and my login screens are at that resolution. Once I login, the screen flickers once, and I see the mouse pointer still at 3840x2160. Then, the gnome screen displays at 1920x1080 with a virtual desktop size of 3840x2160. When I go to display settings, it only shows the 3840x2160 resolution. Is there something besides monitors.xml that gnome uses to determine monitor resolution?
We really need to see some hardware info.
Please post the output of dnf list installed \*nvidia\*, inxi -Fzxx, and xrandr.
We do not know the details of the hardware, nor software without this info.

Please!
When posting text from your screen use the preformatted text button </> on the toolbar or bracket the text on the lines above and below with triple backquotes [ ``` ] to retain the formatting as seen on your screen.
It is difficult to read text that is presented on the screen with formatting when all that is scrunched into a minimal whitespace line.
Just as an example, a snippet of the inxi -Fzxx output from my system.

While it can be interpreted with time and effort, the formatting makes reading and finding appropriate info very much easier.
Your xrandr output does not show the available resolutions, only the current config.
It seems the system is not receiving or interpreting the edid data from the monitor correctly. (or you clipped data from that)
Mine shows
