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 (A317-51 / A317-51G) in-depth review
The world is aiming at minimalism, everyone wants slimmer, lighter, and more compact devices. Actually... it's not everyone - some people still prefer notebooks with bigger screens because they don't need their devices outside of their homes - these laptops "travel" from room to room and that's all.Sometimes maybe you can take them with you when you're on vacation - from the table to the backpack, and after that in your car's trunk. The 17-inchers aren't very good in terms of portability and there isn't anything bad about it - if you need a big screen laptop that's (almost) the only possib[...]
Pros
- Low price tag
- Large screen that has accurate colors with our “Gaming and Web design” profile

Cons

- One RAM stick is directly soldered to the motherboard
- Lacks USB Type-C and SD card reader
- TN panel with mediocre sRGB color coverage
