Examples
Example 1: New Monitor Quality Check
You just received a new monitor and want to verify it before the return window closes.
- Set monitor brightness to 100%
- Open the tool in fullscreen mode
- Run the Color Test through all six colors
- If you find no issues, run the Gradient Test to check for banding
- Export a clean report (zero issues) for your records
Example 2: Warranty Claim Documentation
You found a stuck green pixel on your laptop screen.
- Start a Color Test in fullscreen
- Navigate to the black color — the green dot should be clearly visible
- Click the pixel to mark it as a stuck pixel
- Repeat on white and red to confirm it persists across backgrounds
- Click Stop Test, then Export Report
- Attach the JSON file to your warranty claim
Example 3: Checking a Used Display Before Purchase
When inspecting a second-hand monitor in person:
- Connect it to your laptop
- Open the tool and run a quick Color Test
- Spend 10–15 seconds on each color
- Mark any defects found
- Use the dead/stuck pixel count to negotiate price
Example 4: Gradient Banding Test
Your display looks fine on solid colors but shows stripes in photos.
- Switch to Gradient Test mode
- Run through all eight gradients in fullscreen
- Look for visible bands or steps in smooth transitions
- If banding appears, it may indicate a panel quality issue rather than dead pixels
Example 5: Comparing Two Monitors
You have dual monitors and want to check both:
- Move the browser to Monitor 1, run the full color test, export the report
- Clear marks, move to Monitor 2, repeat
- Compare the two JSON reports side by side
