Buy our profiles for CMN1638 / 16.0”, WUXGA (1920 x 1200), IPS
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 EliteBook 860 G11 in-depth review
The EliteBook 860 G11 seems like a good choice for office or hybrid employees because of the security features. You get a Tamper Lock protection, a self-healing BIOS, a Lock slot, a privacy shutter, and a dTPM2.0 chip. If that's not enough for you, HP offers many optional goodies. This includes a fingerprint reader, IR Web camera, NFC, eSIM, and a vPro CPU. We can spot the Intel Evo certification in the specifications which isn't standard but it enhances the battery life. You can achieve longer autonomous work if you pick a device with a U-series Meteor Lake processor and an optional 76Wh bat[...]
