My settings only show one screen resolution in Ubuntu 18.04 :
xrandr -q
gives one resolution, as you can see. For my second screen, many resolutions are available.
$ xrandr -q

I tried the answer from this response but what I got is:
PRIME Displays cannot be controlled by nvidia-settings and must be configured by an external RandR capable tool.
That means I cannot control the displays thanks to nvidia settings. So I believe I have to use a RandR capable tool but I have no idea how. Must of all, I had no idea it'd be so difficult to change my screen resolution. How should I do it?
EDIT thanks to comments: my laptop is a Dell XPS 7390.
