The second monitor is connected via HDMI. Maybe there's a way to make it flag that was a physically larger device as opposed to flagging the laptop as physically smaller.

The issue is probably not resolution, but scaling and/or DPI/PPI values.
Right click on the desktop -> Desktop Settings.
Click on one monitor in the upper view (where you arrange your displays), scroll down to "Scale & layout" and look at the "Scale" value.
Scroll up, click the OTHER monitor and scroll down back to "Scale & Layout" and compare.

Good advice, thanks.
