Hi all, I have an Acer Aspire 5 (A515-54G) from 2 years ago. I have to deal with coding daily and have a hard time with the screen resolution.

Can I upgrade the screen to a higher resolution?

Thanks in advanced

    The A515-54Gs has the NVidia MX250 gpu chip as a secondary gpu that runs at 1920 X 1080 (FULL HD) and 4K resolution and works in tandem with the 8th/9th Gen cpus integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics.

    The GeForce MX250 was a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on February 21st, 2019. Built on the 14 nm process, and based on the GP108 graphics processor, in its N17S-G2-A1 variant, the chip supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce MX250. The GP108 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 74 mm² and 1,800 million transistors. It features 384 shading units, 24 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 2,048 MB GDDR5 memory with the GeForce MX250, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1519 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1582 MHz, memory is running at 1502 MHz (6 Gbps effective).

    To change resolutions, have a look at the NVida guide of Custom Resolutions as to change the screen to a 144Hz Refresh Rate it can't be done as your laptop has a 30 pin vedo connector and the 144Hz has a 40 pin video connector.
