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.

Acer Swift 3 (SF314-55 / SF314-55G) in-depth review

Going a back in time to the nearest past, we showed you a device from Acer. The weather was cold, the spring was yet to come, and the laptop we are talking about was the Swift 3 (SF314-56). Despite its glamorous looks, it was flawed. It had a very unsatisfactory keyboard and budget quality IPS display. However, it is yet to be (if ever) seen in some regions in the world. In these places, it is likely to be substituted by the Swift 3 (SF314-55). Very similar name, but a completely different device.Well, not completely, since it features the same CPU and GPU configurations as the other mode[...]

  • Great battery life

Cons

  • Shallow keyboard
