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.

MSI Vector GP78 HX (13Vx) in-depth review
This year MSI is offering some pretty good gaming devices with big displays. The Raider GE78 HX (13VX) is an impressive tool for playing games and we just didn't like the high price and the noisy fans under load. Now, we are about to show you the MSI Vector GP78 HX (13V). Since it's a Vector device, this one is more or less a step-down version of its Raider sibling but it comes with a bit lower price tag.It's not cheap at all because it can be configured with one of the most powerful CPU and GPU options for 2023. This includes 24-core Intel Raptor Lake HX processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX [...]
