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.

It has met the needs of my academic research analyzing and training models on large engineering datasets, can even play Forza Horizon 5 at Ultra setting on 3440×1440 widescreen monitor at 60-75 FPS!

The most marketing oriented waste of ressources and money I have seen in recent years. With only 210Watts of AC power available, the mainboard is physically incapable of using CPU and GPU at the same time. Putting this amount of power into components that are half the price will give similar, if not better results. (better because a 4090GPU has a larger baseline powerdraw, and needs to be extra careful to not accidentally fry itself under that flimsy heatsink). This thing is like an 7.2l V8 with a fuelpump capped to 1 Gallon per hour: Overtaking a Big Truck will… Read more »

Can you just upgrade the power supply / wall adapter to 300W+ to get better performance? Also, I understand recent BIOS updates have fixed, or at least mitigated many (all?) of the thermal / amperage management concerns.
