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 9530 in-depth review
Dell's XPS series has been around for more than 10 years. For this amount of time, it has undergone only a couple of major design changes. To be honest, Dell has always been ahead of its competitors in this aspect, so we have to cut them some slack in this perspective.On the other hand, the device gets yearly updates, with which comes an according name change - this is how the XPS 15 9530 was reborn (only in terms of its name, of course).This 2023 model features Intel's 13th Gen CPUs. In addition, you get a wide choice of graphics cards. Intel has become even more intrusive in the lap[...]
