2. Visual checks

Open each test, then choose the observation that matches normal viewing distance.

0 / 7

Dead and stuck pixels

Check for a location-fixed dot across five solid colors.

Open full-screen test

Uniformity / dirty-screen effect

Look for large brightness or tint differences on gray and white fields.

Open test dashboard

IPS glow / backlight bleed

Compare corner and edge brightness in dark content at normal brightness.

Open black-screen test

Ghosting / overshoot

Compare dark trails and bright inverse halos behind moving objects.

Open motion test

Screen tearing

Look for horizontal splits during rapid sideways movement.

Open tearing test

Gradient banding

Inspect smooth gradients for unexpected hard steps.

How to use the report

  1. Keep conditions consistent. Use native resolution, normal brightness and, when possible, let the monitor warm up for 20–30 minutes.
  2. Judge each check separately. “Needs review” is not a failure verdict; it marks an observation that should be repeated with another browser, cable or source device.
  3. Describe what is repeatable. “Visible in the upper-left corner only on a black field” is more useful than a broad statement that the screen looks bad.
  4. Compare normal content. Record whether a small deviation in a pattern is also visible in games, films or text work.
  5. Check official product terms. Pixel and return policies vary by manufacturer, model, seller and country.

Where is the data stored?

Form information is not sent to our server. If you choose “Save draft on this device,” the data is written only to this browser's local storage. “Clear form and saved draft” removes that record. Text export and PDF printing are also performed by your browser.

If you photograph a symptom

Automatic camera exposure can greatly exaggerate backlight glow on a dark screen. Disable night mode, set exposure close to what you see and record the monitor brightness and room lighting. Treat the image as supporting evidence of location, not an absolute brightness measurement.
