Add the following to /etc/default/grub (below GRUB_GFXMODE):

<file>
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1920x1080
</file>

Create a file /etc/initframfs-tools/conf.d/splash containing:

<file>
FRAMEBUFFER=y
</file>

Run the following commands to finish:

<file>
sudo update-grub2
sudo update-initramfs -u
</file>

After doing this, the Ubuntu splash screen should be 1920×1080 and it should boot directly into that same resolution at the login screen. It will also keep that same resolution as it goes into your graphical session.
