Could try 1024x768 as a test

Below output of "update-grub".
Also I Do not see an option in grub console to "Save"
sudo update-grub produces error.
I have grub customizer installed...could that be causing a problem...?
thanks

What is the output of:

cat -n /etc/default/grub

You have removed a quote and it's causing an issue. You don't need a "GRUB customiser". It's a single line of configuration to edit. Not tricky....

You have removed a quote and it's causing an issue. You don't need a
"GRUB customiser". It's a single line of configuration to edit. Not

Run:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Change:
GRUB_GFXMODE="1920x1080""

To:
GRUB_GFXMODE="1920x1080"

Save the new file, close gedit and run:
sudo update-grub

Reboot to test.

Again, it's not a complex file. You just need to read your own output and take action. You added an extra quote and the system was telling you....

Actually, change it to:
GRUB_GFXMODE="1024x768"

Worked! Problem solved.
Thank you.
