    Buy our profiles for LEN160WUM (LEN9156) / 16.0”, WUXGA (1920 x 1200), IPS

    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.

    Lenovo IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 (16", Gen 9) in-depth review

    How about a huge 16-inch transformer that looks like a normal laptop but you can easily fold it into tablet mode? Yep, the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 16 2-in-1 (Gen 9, 16AHP9) is significantly bigger than all other 2-in-1 machines we have tested recently, but it still has a 360-degree hinge. The device is powered by AMD Zen 4 Hawk Point-HS CPUs which comes with a hefty 45W power limit. To achieve a reasonable weight, Lenovo has hammered the upgradability to one SSD slot and a replaceable Wi-Fi 6 card.The machine that we picked has the default 1200p IPS touchscreen. This one is okay for normal work b[...]
