I tried your hack on my Acer Aspire V17 Nitro with a 1920x1080 display, and
it seems that your hack works on my computer as well.
Before I tried your hack, I was basically unable to do a UEFI boot unless I
tried the rEFInd method, but thanks to your hack I am now able to do a
regular UEFI boot at the native resolution of 1920x1080. :D
Thank you so much for your tip. :)
