    hello good day.

    i own an lenovo legion y520.

    after looking around i noticed that there "is" a possibility to upgrade the build in 1920x1080 60 hz screen with a 120 hz screen.

    now i am wondering.

    what else can i upgrade to?

    considering the build in screen appears to be... only a 24 bit color depth panel. and it struggles so much with dark colors.

    is it possible to upgrade this to a higher brightness/better color depth/color display?

    the current one makes it somewhat impossible to game on in loads of dark environments
    .
    i ran monitor asset manager so i can get the the current screens info.
