So, I searched thorougly through the moist caves of the internet and have found nothing on my specific problem:
I just bought the ACER XZ270 X, which has all that fancy-schmancy stuff of 240hz, 1ms blablabla. It has 2 HDMI entries and 1 DP entry. I'm using the HDMI 1 entry and have already tryied the HDMI 2 entry (i do not own a DP cable or adapter, nor does my laptop has a slot for it).
So, using the HDMI entrance, with the HDMI cable that came with it (quite short and robust, with those power-surge protection thingies at both ends) the display cannot seem to go higher than the classic 60hz. I've tryied absolutely everything I could find regarding display settings, adapter properties and whatnot. Also tryied reinstalling from scratch my intel hd graphics (they seem to run the show on the display, and not my graphics card, which is a basic GTX 1050).
The intel graphics command center report that the maximum display refresh rate is 60hz, and I don't know what is limiting it. Might be the intel graphics thing, might be that my laptop doesn't support those 1.X or 2.X hdmi things (which I havent fully understood it yet as it's a messy subject with little support on my laptop's manufacturer's website).... Really lost here.
So what I have in mind is -
And know that i'm absolutely grateful for whomever takes its time to help me.

So what I have in mind is -
- Trying to buy a DP adapter and cable and seeing if that works? (I don't think it will since in the manual it says that both hdmi and dp work at max 240hz in 1920 x 1080)
- Completely uninstalling intel hd graphics thing and seeing if my geforce drivers can run at higher than 60hz? (also, on my NVidia control panel the only option that i have is for 3D Settings, i cant tweak with anything regarding my display there, only on intel's, which shows that their maximum is 60hz)
- Accept that my laptop can't run higher than 60hz because of it's hdmi entrance?
