Hello! I am planning to upgrade my display panel of my Helios 300 PH315-51-57KR but i am not sure what panel to buy. Does my unit support the 144hz? It's still on warranty so i am planning to purchase the display panel and let acer service center replace my panel.

    >>>Does my unit support the 144hz?>>>
    Sorry, likely 'no' even with 1060 graphics. All the compatible panels listed on the specsheet are 25ms or greater refresh times which translates to 40-60Hz refresh rates. The service center may be able to find a compatible 7ms or 144Hz panel but it probably will be limited to 120Hz or less due to the graphics adapter.  Jack E/NJ

    Let me rephrase. I'm trying to upgrade my display panel. Because when i bought it, my panel only supports 60hz. I have read somewhere in forum that the old helios 300 (2017 model) supports up to 120hz and the newer helios 300(2018) supports up to 144hz panel. I do believe that my helios 300 is the 2018 model but i am not sure about the display panel because they said that older helios (2017) have 30 pins while the newer(2018) has 40 pins. So before i purchase a new display panel i am trying to confirm which one does my unit supports.

    Your submodel ***should have*** the 40-pin connector but I can't say with 100% certainty due to possible regional variations. I suggest that you call ACER product sales info at 02-555-2300 to confirm this before you make the purchase.  I would also ask for the LCD display response time for product # NH.Q3FSP.005 . It should be less than 10ms. Jack E/NJ
