In addition to receiving efficient and health-friendly profiles, by buying LaptopMedia's products you also support the development of our labs, where we test devices in order to produce the most objective reviews possible.
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.

Acer Aspire 5 (A515-48M) in-depth review
In most cases, the Acer Aspire laptops impress buyers with pleasant prices while the performance and the goodies of these machines are around average levels. It looks like the manufacturer wants to change that because the new Acer Aspire 5 (A515-48M) is trying to be a bit more premium compared to its older "cousins". This time, we can spot some implemented clever tricks to boost the overall power of the machine.The design is typical for an Aspire device but yet modern at the same time. There are some IPS display options and it seems that there is no sign of 720P TN variants which is great [...]
