Monitor Quality Test
Dead Pixel, Light Leak, and Screen Bleeding Test
Use **Black/Dark** colors for light leaks, and **Primary** colors for dead/stuck pixels.
Your monitor is the window to your digital world. If you’re a gamer focused on high FPS and fast Refresh Rates, screen quality issues like a dead pixel or screen bleeding can ruin the experience. Before accepting any new monitor, or if your current display looks faulty, a thorough Monitor Quality Test is essential.
Our free, web-based Monitor Quality Tester helps you instantly diagnose the most common display flaws with professional precision.
How to Use the Free Screen Quality Checker Tool
Our tool is designed for speed and accuracy. Follow these simple steps to perform a complete display check:
- Select a Color: Start with the Black button to check for light leaks and screen bleeding.
- Run the Cycle: Click the “Start Cycle” button to automatically rotate through the key testing colors (Red, Green, Blue, White, Gray).
- Go Fullscreen (F): For the most accurate results, click “Fullscreen (F)”. This removes browser distractions and puts the color right to the edges of your screen.
- Inspect Closely: Look carefully at the display for any abnormalities while the color is uniform.
- Reset: Click “Reset (R)” to bring the tool back to its default state.
The 3 Critical Display Flaws Our Tool Detects
This section uses the secondary keywords and provides helpful, in-depth content.
1. Dead Pixel Checker (The Dot of Doom)
A dead pixel is a tiny dot that stays permanently black, regardless of the color being displayed. A stuck pixel is similar but stays lit in one color (usually Red, Green, or Blue).
- How to Test: Use the pure RED, GREEN, and BLUE color screens. If you see a tiny black or permanently colored spot that doesn’t change, you’ve found a dead/stuck pixel. This is the fastest dead pixel checker you can find online.
2. Screen Bleeding Test (Light Leak Detection)
Screen bleeding (or light leak) is uneven backlight that shows as brighter patches, most commonly around the edges or corners of the screen. This is a major issue for IPS panels (IPS Glow) and becomes highly noticeable in dark scenes (like movies or dark games).
- How to Test: The BLACK screen is specifically for the screen bleeding test. In a dimly lit room, enter fullscreen and observe the edges. Any cloudiness or bright patches indicate a light leak.
3. Screen Uniformity & Color Cast
Screen Uniformity Test checks if the color and brightness are consistent across the entire display.
- How to Test: Use the WHITE and GRAY screens. The white screen will reveal any yellow or pink color tints (color cast), and the gray screen is excellent for detecting any subtle banding or patches of uneven brightness.
What to do After Finding a Flaw
If you’ve run our Monitor Quality Test and discovered a major issue, here are your next steps:
- For New Monitors: If you just bought the display, contact the retailer immediately. Dead pixels and severe screen bleeding are often valid reasons for a return or replacement.
- For Stuck Pixels: Sometimes, a stuck pixel can be fixed using software tools that rapidly flash colors (or by gently massaging the screen with a cloth). (Link to an external authority guide if possible).
- For Light Leaks: Screen bleeding is hardware-related and cannot be fixed with software. If it’s distracting, replacement is the only solution.
Conclusion
Don’t let a faulty display hold back your gaming performance or visual experience. Our free, simple Monitor Quality Test is the fastest way to confirm the health of your display. Test your screen now and enjoy a pixel-perfect view!
