    MSI GF75 Thin in-depth review

    As its name suggests, the MSI GF75 Thin 10Sx is a relatively thin and light gaming notebook, that won't completely destroy your bank account. Unlike, the GS Stealth series, it is one of the company's most affordable offerings, which actually features very capable hardware.This year, the GF75 Thin comes with the 10th Gen Intel processors, maxing out with the Core i7-10750H. Ultimately, you can go for the Geforce RTX 2060, if you need more graphics power, or if you're on a tight budget, you have the option of the GTX 1650. Additionally, you can pick a 144Hz 1080p IPS display, and you will end up with a notebook that really doesn't correspond to its pricing. In a good way, of course.You can check the prices and configurations in our Specs System: https://laptopmedia.com/series/msi-gf[...]

    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.
