Acer Swift 5 display profiles – Quality and Health impact results
We are happy to see that the not-so-expensive Acer Swift 5 incorporates an excellent 14-inch IPS display with just a few drawbacks, which, by the way, can be easily fixed by installing our custom profiles. The profile 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 Acer Swift 5 has a Full HD IPS panel with 93% sRGB color gamut coverage, excellent contrast ratio (1400:1), high maximum brightness (354 cd/m2) and almost optimal color temperature – 6600K.
Since our profiles are tailored for each individual display model, this article and its respective profile package are meant for the Acer Swift 5 with 14″ panel manufactured by AU Optronics with model number B140HAN03.2 featuring FHD (1920 x 1080) resolution and the machine can be found at Amazon.com: Acer Swift 5.

Kontorsarbete
Office Work bör främst användas av användare som tillbringar den mesta tiden med att titta på textstycken, tabeller eller bara surfa. Den här profilen syftar till att ge bättre tydlighet och klarhet genom att behålla en platt gammakurva (2,20), ursprunglig färgtemperatur och perceptuellt korrekta färger.
Design och spel
Den här profilen riktar sig till designers som arbetar professionellt med färger, även för spel och filmer. Design and Gaming tar skärmpaneler till sina gränser och gör dem så exakta som möjligt i sRGB IEC61966-2-1-standarden för webb och HDTV, vid vitpunkt D65.
Health-Guard
Health-Guard eliminerar skadlig pulsbreddsmodulering (PWM) och minskar negativt blått ljus som påverkar våra ögon och vår kropp. Eftersom den är skräddarsydd för varje panel lyckas den hålla färgerna perceptuellt korrekta. Health-Guard simulerar papper så att trycket på ögonen minskas kraftigt.

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 the PWM. However, since the notebook’s display doesn’t use PWM, this profile will come in handy for reducing the negative blue light emissions.
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!
