I use an Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (PHN16-71-55V5) and learned that instead of buying a new monitor some laptop screens can be upgraded, I've seen that it can be replaced but they don't use a higher spec for the screen just the identical specs.

    The HN16-71-55V5 has a 16" WideScreen at 165Hz refresher rate and came with either the higher resolution of WQXGA (2560x1600) screens or the FHD+ (1920x1200) screens. All these screen have a 40 pin video connector including the PHN16-71 so you can upgrade to other 16" WQXGA (2560x1600) - 240Hz screens that you will need to search the web to find one.

    These are all the oem screens that Acer fitted and lits for the PHN16-71 in its SG.

    • AUO 160QAN03.H H/W - WQXGA (2560x1600) - 165Hz
    • AUO B160UAN01.Q H/W - FHD+ (1920x1200) - 165Hz
    • BOE NV160WUM-NY2 - FHD+ (1920x1200) - 165Hz
    • INNOLUX N160JME-GT1 - FHD+ (1920x1200) - 165Hz
    • BOE NE160QDM-NY1 - WQXGA (2560x1600) - 165Hz
