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 (A517-53 / A517-53G) in-depth review
If 17-inch laptops are your vibe, you are at the right place. We have recently had a run of large notebooks, and we ran it through the LaptopMedia treatment of tests. Some of the results were expected, while others were impressive.Nevertheless, the best thing we have seen is that you have a wide variety of choices, for pretty much every budget. And you can almost never go wrong. On the other hand, we might be seeing the last days of 17-inch computers. The market was flooded with 16-inch devices, while 18-inch monsters are just around the corner, as we have seen at CES 2023.Regardless [...]
