    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.

    ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 16 (G634, 2024) in-depth review

    The ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 16 G634 (2024) is a powerful 16-incher that offers virtually the same hardware as its 18-inch sibling, the G834. This means a 32-thread Core i9-14900HX and the full-powered (175W) versions of the GeForce RTX 4080 or 4090. That sounds like a pretty potent combination, especially for such a form factor. Still, ASUS was able to fit an enormous cooling that looks practically identical to the one of the 18-inch "cousin".
