In addition to receiving efficient and health-friendly profiles, by buying LaptopMedia's products you also support the development of our labs, where we test devices in order to produce the most objective reviews possible.
Office Work
Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.
Design and Gaming
This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.

Acer Extensa 15 (EX215-55) in-depth review
The Acer Extensa 15 (EX215-55) has some advantages over the Extensa 15 (EX215-33) that we have already tested in depth. The EX215-55 model has a pair of DDR4 SODIMMs, an additional M.2 slot, and even a SATA slot for normal SSDs or 2.5" SSDs. It's also powered by more punchy Alder Lake CPUs with P cores. Still, it lacks Type-C connectors, while the EX215-33 at least has one. Overall, these are the most notable differences between the two siblings.Unfortunately, we didn't find a laptop with the top-end 1080p IPS screen so we settled for a TN unit with the same resolution.
