Thus, with PixPerAn you can adjust gamma correction and set the optimal value, which is best fit for your eyes. Another test ready to be carried out from the main window of this tool is the one that establishes the percentage of transition between different brightness levels of your screen.

In case you encounter difficulties in reading scrolling texts onto your PC, you should try the readability test offered by PixPerAn. This benchmark will help you determine up to which speed it is easy to read such moving character strings.
