I think you meant 1280x720.  But if your monitor is digital, this is a
bad idea.  There was a recent discussion on this list about why it is a
bad idea; the summary is that the dots will not align properly for
text on a lower resolution.  Everything will look fuzzy.

If you are using X, and an analog monitor, you can put a configuration
file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d.  A search on the web will give you
the format.  Use xrandr to get the numbers to plug in.

I don't know how to do this for wayland.

But I think the better thing for you to do is to up the size of fonts
that everything uses, if possible.  Text will look a lot better.
