Users should pay a lot more attention to PWM, or Pulse-Width Modulation, when buying a new laptop. Why? Because many of us work with our computers for hours every day, and PWM is one of the things that have negative impact on our eyesight.
Pulse Width modulation (PWM) is an easy way to control monitor brightness. When you lower the brightness, the light intensity of the backlight is not lowered, but instead turned off and on by the electronics with a frequency indistinguishable to the human eye – our brain make us think that the display in front of us isn’t flickering, but just has lower brightness instead. Staring at aggressive pulsations could easily give you headaches or eye strain, and we’re convinced that nearly everyone has experienced that.
That’s why we test every laptop in our laboratory with high-efficiency equipment in order to determine the exact frequency and structure of the light impulses. The results go through our algorithm and we present you with a final rating for each of them in the list below. You can find out more about PWM in our dedicated article on the matter, or you could just make your conclusions based on our final rating.
But that’s not all! For every laptop that visits our laboratory we create a Health-Guard profile which eliminates PWM, when being used with our LM Profiles application and reduces the impact of the harmful Blue Light (read more). Moreover – it keeps the colors perceptually accurate! That means although the colors become different, you’ll need just several minutes and you’ll see them as they should look like. You can buy the Health-Guard profile alone for a low price or in a discounted bundle with our Office Work / Web Design and Gaming and Movie Nights profiles. All of the profits go directly to our laboratory for further Research & Development so you can expect even more detailed and interesting reviews in LaptopMedia.com!

Hi! how about GL503VD Scar Edition? It uses 120Hz TN panel. I’m not sure whether TN panel is PWM free or not. Thx
Hello.
Can you please add the specs of HP Pavilion 14-bf153sa to your PWM ranking list?
Cheers
This List need a filter-category (price, display size, display freq, pwm, processor freq, weight…)
Hey, iosize!
You can use our Specs System. Our profiles eliminate the PWM so you check “Laptops with Display Profiles” 🙂
which colour has the worst negative impact to eyes? Green or red?
Hello 🙂 Take a look here:

Hi ! Really interesting article thank you ! I’m not from US and found it a bit tricky to use you website, how can I find a specific computer after doing a research and buy it then (I’m ok to use your links or give contribution, the PWM search you’ve done is really valuable). What I found difficult is that when I put all my conditions, I come across very generic computer names and we see in this discussion that you need the very exact model to have a chance to get a non PWM screen when you say it’s… Read more »
Thank you SO MUCH! I didn’t know how I was ever going to replace my 2013 Macbook. PWM triggers migraines with me quickly and without fail. I just bought a Lenovo Yoga L20 based on your review, and I can even turn the brightness down without causing a migraine! I am extremely relieved but also rather irked that not a single manufacturer even mentions PWM or flicker-free in regards to laptops.
Thank you!
here hp 15da0077tx is not shown
Hi, I could you give me advice on which one of these screens I should choose for my Y700-15ISK? https://laptopmedia.com/screen/samsung-ltn156hl09-401/ or https://laptopmedia.com/screen/lg-lp156wf6-spk3/ ? Based on your data, the LG model is brighter but comes with lower contrast, does it mean that its black is not as dark as that of the Samsung one? How about that stain/cloud effect you can observe in some cases at about 45° viewing angle (you see stains instead of even color)? Is there really such a huge difference between the PWM frequency between them or is it just a typo? Thanks!
Hello
do you happen to know the pwm flickering frequency of these laptop :
Lenovo thinkpad T540p
Lenovo thinkpad L540
DELL E5540
DELL E5550
Thank you.
People, do not buy from them any profiles. Site support is not working. I ran into the problem that the profile I bought does not work. I wrote support to the email and to the comments. No one answered me after almost 2 weeks.
They just throw money. You can get it for free faster and better!
no samsung? really?
There is nothing with VA-panel? ips = modern tn = lowest video quality.
