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.

Dell Inspiron 14 5490 in-depth review
Dell is one of the manufacturers that updated their devices with the new Comet Lake processors from Intel. In addition to that, they have presented a slight design refresh to their Inspiron 14 5000 series. The new model is called the Inspiron 14 5490 and can now be maxed out with the Core i7-10510U and a GeForce MX250 graphics card.Let's not forget to say that it also features a 1080p IPS panel and a redesigned fingerprint reader. Similar to last year - it is embedded into the power button, but instead of being separated from the keyboard deck, it is now standing in its top-right corner. [...]
Pros
- Tremendous battery life
- Upgradable memory and storage that supports PCIe x4 SSDs
- Very fast fingerprint reader
- Equipped with a MicroSD card slot
- Its display has comfortable viewing angles and good contrast ratio (BOE NV14N4H-2X30K (BOE082E))
Cons
- Its base bends upon the slightest of touches
- Lacks an RJ-45 connector, unlike its predecessor
- Covers only 51% of sRGB (BOE NV14N4H-2X30K (BOE082E))
- Uses aggressive PWM for brightness adjustment (BOE NV14N4H-2X30K (BOE082E)) (our Health-Guard profile deals with this issue)
