Do you think this laptop can be upgraded with a 120 Hz panel? (HP 15-BC450NS)

I have this laptop:

Specs

The very day I got it I upgraded the RAM with another 8 GB module to make it dual channel and the performance is great after making that upgrade (cpu performance practically doubled in some scenarios). The CPU very good and stays at 3.9~4 GHz constantly while playing. But what I'm not happy with is the screen. It's 1080p, but the colors and viewing angles are awful, and I'm so used to my 144 Hz panel on my desktop that playing Apex Legends on this thing looks to me like it's running at 30 FPS despite it being over 60 FPS constantly. I saw the video in where Linus upgraded the screen of a laptop with a 120 Hz screen one and now I'm wondering if I can do the same.

 

How can I check whether this is possible? Any specific panel that would be compatible? Thanks.

I don't think any panel can fit in, even if a panel can be fitted you'll lose brightness control
