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.

Lenovo IdeaPad S540 (15") in-depth review
Lenovo Ideapad S540 (15) is a particularly interesting device. On one side, it has the price of an ASUS VivoBook, but on the other, you can get it with up to a GeForce GTX 1650 - like a ZenBook. So, how does a manufacturer make an all-aluminum chassis, fits such a GPU inside, offers up to 2TB of NVMe SSD storage, and still manages to maintain adequate pricing?Well, first, let's note that our version of the laptop came with the GeForce MX250 instead - a weaker GPU indeed, however, it is a lot more efficient, and you should expect better cooling with quieter fans. By the way, we can't pass [...]
Pros
- Sleek design
- Nice performance/efficiency ratio
- Good battery life
- Sufficient cooling
- Supports PCIe x4 SSDs
- Good contrast ratio and comfortable viewing angles
Cons
- Its keyboard is not the most comfortable out there
- Lacks Thunderbolt connection
- Covers only 51% of sRGB
- Uses aggressive PWM to adjust its brightness (our Health-Guard profile fixes that)
