    Back in November I was looking for a new laptop. Eventually I settled on the PA71HP6-G. Clevo's website lists the notebook as including either a 4k or 120hz 1080p display. I ordered my notebook from Pro-Star, and upon receiving it, I discovered mine had a 60-75hz 1080p panel. I contacted Pro-Star in regards to this and was told that Clevo puts the displays in and that Pro-Star just uses what they are given. So, they don't have a list of upgrade panels that will work with this particular notebook.

    My exact panel is the:
    LG Display LP173WF4-SPF5

    Clevo hasn't responded to my request of which panels will work with this notebook, so I was wondering if anyone knew what all panels would. I'd like as high color quality I can get, but want a 120hz panel. Any information would be appreciated.

    It looks like ProStar doesn't give buyers any options to change the screen at time of purchase. HIDevolution does, but the only compatible version they list is the 4K one.

    Yea, oddly enough, most the companies that sell them in North America don't have the option for a 120hz display, or at least they don't show what the refresh rate of the panels are. Some have the 4k option, but I didn't want that for a laptop with a GTX 1060. I am just interested in getting a 120hz panel. If it's not one that any companies include, but is still compatible, I'd take that.
