HP OMEN 15 in-depth review
Ever since 2017, HP has used pretty much the same design for their Omen series. Indeed it was a fresh new feature back then, but quite honestly, it looked a bit too aggressive. Fast-forward to 2020, and we see that HP has taken some notes from Lenovo and their Legion series, which are one of the most incognito gaming notebooks on the market.However, looks are not the only difference we see. HP now provides the laptop with both Intel (10th Gen) and AMD (Zen 2) processors, and we see that the NVIDIA RTX Super GPUs are slowly creeping on the market.

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.
