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 Slim 5 (16IMH9) in-depth review
Lenovo's IdeaPad lineup is a bit confusing with its plethora of different series that look very similar. The models are divided into three categories - Series 1, 3, and 5. The Series 5 category is the most interesting one as it offers powerful configurations at affordable prices. But there are a lot of different variants, so let's break them down - there are 3 subcategories - 5 Series, Slim 5 Series, and Pro 5 Series.Each of them has 14", 15", and 16" models, with the 5 Series being more on the entertainment side with Chromebooks and 2-in-1 hybrids. Today, we'll narrow the focus to 16-inch[...]
