Buy our profiles for AUO AUOA08B / 15.6”, Full HD (1920 x 1080), 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.

Moreover, this device is aimed at a pretty pretentious segment of the market, so it won't be harmful to deliver something different once in a while.This notebook comes with Comet Lake-U processors and an optional GeForce MX250, so it should be pretty capable of handling your daily workload. What is more impressive is the upgradability, and the security enhancements you get. And while we are going to tell you about the former later in [...]
