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 Predator Helios 18 (PH18-71) in-depth review
Recently some manufacturers started breaking the norms of screen sizes across the board. This is how the 16-inch form factor bought its way into the world, ruled by 13, 14, 15, and 17-inch computers.Now, the time has come for yet another intervention in the matrix. And this one seems even bolder than the transition from 15 to 16-inch devices. Brace yourselves for the 18-inch gaming notebook trend, starting with the Acer Predator Helios 18 (PH18-71).
