Connected to 4k (3840x2160) monitor but I can only select upto 1920x1080 resolution

From reading the monitor's manual, it does seem like it should work. It's possible it's a software issue on the Pinebook Pro.

If you do buy an adapter, make sure you buy a USB-C to alternate mode Display Port. (Make sure it supports 4 lanes / 4K @ 60hz.) Then use a Display Port to Display Port cable.

In theory you can get a USB-C to alternate mode Display Port, but with a built in active converter to HDMI. However, this makes little sense, because the Pinebook Pro and your monitor have native Display Port options.

Last, if you want 4K @ 60hz, any USB C dock on your Pinebook Pro must be limited to USB 2 speeds. Meaning the two USB 3 lanes would be needed for the video. There are a few out there, either fixed at USB 2 speeds, or have a switch to enable / disable USB 3.
