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 Aspire 3 (A315-21/31/32) in-depth review
Today we have something that is on the budget. And we mean really on the budget. Usually, you can find the Acer Aspire 3 in many different configurations, some of which include pretty powerful hardware. This makes the Aspire 3 (A315-22) look like a very weird option, as the processor inside is the AMD A4-9120e. It is built on a 28nm architecture, called Stoney Ridge, and it came out roughly 6 years ago.So why is Acer selling a laptop that comes with such old hardware? Well, we see one reason for that. Because of the current situation, which pretty much depleted the low-budget laptop marke[...]
Pros
- Extremely affordable
- Decent upgradeability
- Doesn't use aggressive PWM for brightness adjustment (BOE NT156WHM-N44)
Cons
- Poor build materials choice
- Its TN panel has poor viewing angles, mediocre contrast ratio and covers only 53% of the sRGB color gamut (BOE NT156WHM-N44)
- Dated hardware with a very low performance
- No SD card reader and USB Type-C port
