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.

MSI Raider GE78 HX (13Vx) in-depth review
MSI is going old school with the new Raider series. The GE78 HX (13VX) is an homage to the past of the brand, but with a look to the future. Part of that is the RGB illumination, which comes from almost everywhere. On the other hand, the visual features of the machine are nothing, compared to what's inside. We not only see Intel's latest and greatest, but it also comes in the more powerful 55W TDP option (ergo the HX series). Similarly, the graphics cards you can choose from are the RTX 4070, RTX 4080, and RTX 4090, which are the cream of the crop of gaming at the moment of writing this[...]
