my laptop resolution is stuck on 800x600 with ubuntu running.

The monitor is able for 1920x1080 cording to this site: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-N73JQ-Notebook.40939.0.html
Maybe you should activate the drivers.

How do I go about doing that?

Hit the Super or Windows key and search "Add" and select Additional Drivers. There should be some kind of graphics drivers there hopefully. Select them and activate. Good luck
