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.

Dell Latitude 15 5540 in-depth review

The manufacturer describes that the Latitude 15 5540 is built for "maximum performance and scalability". On paper, that's possible thanks to the snappy 13th Gen Intel Raptor Lake CPUs, the decent cooling solution, the memory that can work in dual-channel mode (if two memory modules are installed), and the battery that supports ExpressCharge.There is even one dGPU option and that's the NVIDIA GeForce MX550. Just like the Latitude 14 5440, the 5540 sibling can be found with DDR4 or DDR5 RAM. The newer standard is reserved for the 28W P-series CPUs while the machines with 15W U chips rely on [...]
