Removing the Bottom Panel - Before you start, ensure the laptop is powered off and disconnected from any external power sources. - Place the laptop upside-down to access the bottom panel. - Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to unscrew the 11 screws on the bottom. The top two screws are captive, meaning they stay attached to the bottom panel even after unscrewing. - Begin prying from the top corners (where the captive screws are) using a plastic pry tool.

    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.
