Monitor & Display Test Patterns

These patterns each isolate one panel behaviour. Run them in a dim room, at 100% browser zoom, with any night light or colour filter turned off — otherwise you are testing your software, not your screen.

What these tools cannot tell you

A browser can only display patterns. Measuring gamma, white point, Delta E or exact response time needs a hardware colorimeter or a photodiode rig.

Frequently asked questions

How long should an OLED burn-in test run?

At least 30 seconds per colour. Burn-in shows as a faint ghost of previously displayed content and is easiest to see on solid mid-gray and solid colour fills.

Is banding on a gradient always a fault?

No. Many laptop and budget panels are 6-bit plus dithering, so mild banding is expected. Hard, wide steps that do not shimmer are more likely a driver or colour-profile issue.

Can a browser measure my monitor's accuracy?

No. A browser can only display patterns. Measuring gamma, white point or Delta E requires a hardware colorimeter.
