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.

MSI GL75 in-depth review

Large-screen gaming and a very decent price tag. This is what summarizes the retail listing of the MSI GL75. So, as far as we can see, MSI's transition to more unobnoxious designs that are not so "in your face" is going well. A 17-inch laptop display means that there is a lot of space, but you have to be cautious about how you fill it in. On one side, the laptop can become too heavy, while on the other it may be unstable if too light.Also what hardware do you put in to make it budget-friendly and still be able to run through games like a hot knife through butter? Well, it's obvious, isn't[...]
