    Buy our profiles for LGD074C / 13.5”, WUXGA+ (1920 x 1280), IPS

    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.

The HP Dragonfly G4 solves this issue thanks to its sub-1 kg weight and powerful enough hardware for normal usage. This business machine relies on a 13th generation Intel Raptor Lake-U series processor options. These chips still meet the necessary standards for work but the lack of a dedicated NPU unit for AI-accelerated productivity could be a dealbreaker for some of you. It's not a surprise that the upgradability is almost non-existent because of the compact dimensions. On the other hand, the port selectio[...]
