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.

HP Pavilion Gaming 15 (15-dk0000, dk1000, dk2000) in-depth review

HP releases an updated Pavilion Gaming 15 laptop a bit late to make a big impact. But you never know as this series is generally the entry point for gamers on the mobile front. However, looking at the listings of the device, especially those units, equipped with an RTX 3050/RTX 3050 Ti, we see a surprisingly high price.Here is the moment to say that the Pavilion Gaming 15 (15-dk2000) comes with a Tiger Lake H35 processor inside. It is inferior to the H45 counterparts when it comes to gaming, due to the low core count (4 cores and 8 threads). And the RTX 3050 and RTX 3050 Ti are only comin[...]

Pros

  • Adequate price
  • Good keyboard with decent travel, big arrows, and a backlight
  • Decent cooling solution
  • Covers 91% of sRGB (BOE080D)
  • Feature-packed I/O (includes an SD card slot)

Cons

  • Lacks Thunderbolt connectivity
  • Build quality could have been better
  • 35W CPUs are not the best for gaming
  • Uses aggressive PWM fixed by our Health-Guard profile (BOE080D)
  • Slow pixel response time (BOE080D)
