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.

Dell XPS 15 9520 in-depth review
Dell has established the XPS brand as the main MacBook alternative. Chances are very high that you've heard about that if you are into powerful, portable machinery. However, there is a huge disadvantage to owning such a notebook. First - your bank account won't be really happy. Second - you won't get the maximum out of the hardware. This happened last year, and we strongly suggest that would happen today with the XPS 15 9520.It comes with an Alder Lake-H processor, which is very needy in terms of cooling. Regardless, we expect that the XPS 15 will be able to destroy every other device equ[...]
