Buy our profiles for Innolux N156HCE-EN1 / 15.6”, Full HD (1920 x 1080), IPS
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.

ASUS ZenBook Pro UX550 in-depth review
With the latest generation of CPUs and GPUs from Intel and NVIDIA on the mobile front, OEMs started a race - who will build the fastest, yet the thinnest and most portable notebook. We've seen some great design and performance from the latest generation of Apple's MacBook Pro 15 and Dell's XPS 15. But what if you get roughly the same specs and performance and put it on a much more affordable package? That's exactly what ASUS has managed to achieve with its latest ZenBook Pro UX550VE - a successor to the well-received ZenBook Pro UX501 and a worthy competitor to the MacBook Pro 15 and XPS 1[...]
