A workaround: don't focus on getting the 1920x1080 entry show up in the menu. Unmaximize the vmware window, with display properties opened. Then on resizing your window, first note that the resolution is auto-adjusted to a smaller resolution. Next, maximize the window and it should autoset it to 1920x1080. This worked for me, so try it out.
