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 3 (14") in-depth review
You need a small budget machine for your daily work, be it in an office or at home? Or your kid needs a portable setup for school. Well, the Ideapads were always a decent option in the sub $500 category, and now the Ideapad 3 (14) comes more versatile than ever.With more processor options than there are players in a football team, you can basically pick a configuration that suits your taste the best. Unfortunately, it still comes with a 768p TN option (although there is a 1080p IPS one as well), which in 2020 seems ridiculous. Come on, guys, even the Acer Swift 1 (SF114-32) has a 1080p IP[...]
Pros
- Low price and some color customization
- Optional fingerprint reader
- Decent input devices
- Features an SD card reader, and has decent upgradability
- Doesn't use PWM for brightness adjustment (Innolux N140BGA-EA4)
Cons
- No USB Type-C port
- All-plastic build with a fingerprint attracting material
- Our unit had a pathetic 768p TN display (Innolux N140BGA-EA4)
- Poor color coverage, contrast ratio and viewing angles on the TN panel (Innolux N140BGA-EA4)
