Monitor not showing entire image

Hello forum,

 

So recently, I was given a 46in 1080p monitor after a store did a renovation. The monitor was from a 2x2 wall and thus is set to only show part of an input. At the moment, it only shows 1/4th of my screen (as in the entire screen is on, but only part of my screen is being used to fill it up). I cannot seem to remedy the issue on the monitor's side via settings, so I was wondering if perhaps I could trick my PC into putting out video for a larger display (3840 x 2160), and keep all the content in the corner that the monitor displays.

 

If I didnt explain my idea well enough, I attached 3 pictures. First is a sample desktop, 2nd is how the monitor shows it, 3rd is my idea.

For reference, I tried this on my 2017 Macbook pro (via VGA to Thunderbolt 3 adapter) and my desktop (GTX 1080 with DisplayPort cable) and had the same result, leading me to believe that it is due to the monitor being from a 2x2.
