日本Lenovo Flex 5 (Yoga 520) (14″) display profiles – Quality and Health impact results
The Lenovo Flex 5 doesn’t have the greates IPS panel out there but it proved to be well-suited for lowe-end configurations and with a little adjusting, it gets sensible better. The packages contain the usual Office work, Design & Gaming and Health-Guard profiles, each of which will improve the overall image quality in certain aspects. You can read more about them here and how to use them. We also suggest reading our dedicated article regarding blue light emissions and PWM and how our custom Health-Guard profile reduces Blue Light’s impact and eliminates the harmful PWM.
The Lenovo Yoga 520 (Flex 5) (14″) has a Full HD IPS panel with 50% sRGB color gamut coverage, really high contrast ratio (1350:1), relatively low maximum brightness (270 cd/m2) and a tad colder than the optimal color temperature – 6720K.
Since our profiles are tailored for each individual display model, this article and its respective profile package are meant for the Lenovo Flex 5 (Yoga 520) with 14.0″ panel manufactured by AU Optronics with model number B140HAN04.2 featuring FHD (1920 x 1080) resolution and the machine can be found at Amazon.com: Lenovo Flex 5 (Yoga 520).

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.
