Acer Swift 3 (SF314-55) display profiles – Quality and Health impact results
We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the display panel used in the new Acer Swift 3 SF314-55 (detailed review) – Innolux N140HCE-EN2 (CMN14D5). Although it isn’t a workstation its display has one of the best color accuracy levels we’ve ever got from a laptop.
First, it covers 98% of the sRGB color gamut. Without our profiles, the color accuracy is pretty high – DeltaE = 3.7. The magic happens with our “Design and Gaming” profile which reduces it to just dE=0.7! Values below 1.0 are indistinguishable to the naked eye.
The display panel uses the harmful PWM for brightness levels below 80 cd/m2 but you can get our Health-Guard profile and get rid of the PWM completely.

Office Work
Office Work moet vooral worden gebruikt door gebruikers die de meeste tijd besteden aan het bekijken van stukken tekst, tabellen of gewoon surfen. Dit profiel is gericht op het leveren van een betere helderheid en duidelijkheid door het behouden van een vlakke gammacurve (2.20), native kleurtemperatuur en perceptueel accurate kleuren.
Ontwerp en spel
Dit profiel is gericht op ontwerpers die beroepsmatig met kleuren werken, en ook voor games en films. Design and Gaming brengt beeldschermen tot het uiterste en maakt ze zo nauwkeurig mogelijk in de sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standaard voor Web en HDTV, bij witpunt D65.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard elimineert de schadelijke Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) en vermindert het negatieve Blauwe Licht dat onze ogen en ons lichaam aantast. Omdat het op maat is gemaakt voor elk paneel, slaagt het erin de kleuren perceptueel nauwkeurig te houden. Health-Guard simuleert papier zodat de druk op de ogen sterk wordt verminderd.

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.
It also regulates the first steps out of black so you can have even faster reflexes when playing in dark virtual environments… or just see everything in the darkest scenes in movies.

As for the Health-Guard profile, it reduces the blue light impact and eliminates PWM.
Pro Tip: As the Health-Guard profile simulates paper and has as accurate as possible colors, it could be a great tool for prepress designers!
