LaptopMedia.com Highlights ASUS ROG GL502VS (15-inch, FHD, IPS) display profiles – Quality and Health impact results

From: Rossen Pandev 19 December 2016 / 15:48 0

ASUS’ ROG GL502VS is features an excellent IPS panel with numerous useful properties correcting some of the issues present with the previous version of the display used in the ASUS ROG GL552VW and ASUS N552VX. In the pack below, you will find the usual Health-Guard, Office work / Web design and Gaming / Movie Nights profiles, each of which will improve the overall image quality in certain aspects. You can read more about them here and how to use them. We also suggest reading our dedicated article regarding blue light emissions and PWM and how our custom profiles help eliminate both to certain extend.

The ASUS ROG GL502VS has a FHD IPS panel with 90% sRGB coverage, high contrast ratio (1020:1), high maximum brightness (324 cd/m2) but there are some slight deviations when color accuracy and color temperature are concerned. There’s also a significant amount of blue light emissions and low-frequency PWM. Here’s where our profiles come into play.

Since our profiles are tailored for each individual display model, this article and its respective profile package is meant for ASUS ROG GL502VS with 15.6″ panel manufactured by LG Philips with model number LP156WF6-SPB6 featuring FHD (1920×1080) resolution and the machine can be found at Amazon.com: ASUS ROG GL502VS.

Office Work / Web Design

This profile aims to deliver the most accurate colors possible in the sRGB gamut – the colors used on the Web. That makes it suitable for Office work and, in some cases, for Web Design. However, this display doesn’t have the needed sRGB color gamut coverage, so you will have to look for a better IPS panel for your color-sensitive work. Still, our profile will bring the average dE2000 from 4.4 down to 2.2 deviation. Take note that usually values above 4.0 are unwanted.

We’ve also adjusted the gamma curve and white balance to fit the standards.

Gaming and Movie Nights

You can take advantage of the Gaming and Movie Nights profile, which will improve the overall visibility – especially in darker areas of the image – during gaming and watching movies (you can see an example here).

Health-Guard profile

As for the Health-Guard profile, it reduces the blue light impact and eliminates the PWM. This profile will be very helpful in this situation where the display uses PWM and has slightly higher than usual values for blue light.
