HP Pavilion x360 15 (15-cr0000) display profiles – Quality and Health impact results
The new HP Pavilion x360 15 (in-depth review) is one of the most popular laptops on the market. Its price is great, it covers all the essentials you may need and it’s 2-in-1 convertible which is handy in many situations.
So is there a catch? Yes, it turned out that it has many catches and one of them is the screen quality. HP used the AUO B156HAN02.2 (AUO22ED) panel which barely covers half of the sRGB color gamut – just 53% (CIE1976). The color deviations are literally off the charts (see below), even our Design & Gaming profile didn’t lower the average DeltaE below 4.0 (values below 1.0 are recommended for color-sensitive work).
However, if you don’t care for the color accuracy, there are some good news here – the display doesn’t use harmful PWM for controlling the brightness and the contrast ratio is good (1200:1) which makes the screen comfortable for your eyes. If you want to protect your body further, check out our Health-Guard profile.
Since our profiles are tailored for each individual display model, this article and its respective profile package are meant for the HP Pavilion x360 15 (15-cr0000) with a 15.6″ AUO B156HAN02.2 (AUO22ED) panel with Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution. You can check out all configurations here:

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 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!
