Monitor Expert

Display technology has greatly evolved in only a few years, with touch-enabled screens now being a common things. Needless to say that these can still get damaged, or the color setting is not really the best. In this regard, Monitor Expert comes with various test scenarios to help with color calibration for LCD, LED, CRT screens, as well as tablet PCs.

The application is good to go from the moment it’s installed. The default configuration makes it run in fullscreen for a proper experience, and there’s no way to make it take up less space. This isn’t really an inconvenience since you can check for dead pixels better this way.

It manages to make quite the first impression, with high-quality textures used all the way through, even though menu elements consist of one, or two color mixtures. Information about the screen, resolution, and pixel configuration can be viewed at the press of a button.

The main window shows thumbnails of all test scenarios you go through, just in case you want to directly jump to a specific one. Some are completely dedicated to touch-enabled devices to help you verify any sensitivity issues, or broken animations during interaction with various elements and buttons.

Regardless of the test scenario you choose, navigation, and presentation methods remain the same. You’re free to go in any direction, both horizontally and vertically, with a corresponding image showing up in the order they’re in the main window. The library of test options is no less than impressive, ranging from basic color display, in combination with lines, gradients, font display, as well as animations to check black and white level corrections.

In conclusion, Monitor Expert is a powerful tool with which you can determine whether or not there are any dead pixels, but also adjust color levels accordingly. Even though there are no direct controls to affect display settings, there are surely enough test scenarios to help you pick just the right tone.
