All HP 250 G8 / 255 G8 configurations
Buy our profiles for Innolux CMN1526 / 15.6”, Full HD (1920 x 1080), TN
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 250 G8 / 255 G8 in-depth review
Okay, everybody, we are back in the budget territory today, and the laptop we're going to test is the HP 250 G8. Ultimately, this is the third iteration of the HP 250 we're reviewing, and the previous two all came with TN panels, which was a bummer. At the same time, it is somehow expected, since this is the main cost-cutting factor. Well... this, and the materials for the build.Unsurprisingly, we also got a TN model, which now feels weird in 2021, but it's good to know that you can still buy an IPS version. If you can spare the money - go for it. Nevertheless, this laptop offers a lot of[...]
Pros
- Wide configuration options
- One of the best keyboards for the price
- Doesn't use aggressive PWM for brightness adjustment (Innolux CMN1526)
- Great upgradability
- More portable than ever
Cons
- Poor build materials choice
- Its TN panel has poor viewing angles, mediocre contrast ratio and covers only 53% of the sRGB color gamut (Innolux CMN1526)
- Underpeforming
- Uncomfortable touchpad
