IsMyLcdOK

Displays are unfortunately not immune from defects, as despite how much quality assurance mechanisms have improved, encountering problems with your newly bought monitor or TV is not out of the question. As such, it’s recommended that you thoroughly test your new display to ensure that everything’s prim and proper, so that you can return it in due time if it’s not operating within acceptable parameters.

IcMyLcdOK is a very fitting name for a program meant to highlight any display deficiencies. The software can help you check for any dead or stuck pixels with ease, while also offering an endurance test mode.

The program comes in portable form, which means that there’s no need to install it. This makes it more convenient to use, as you can take it with you on a USB stick and deploy it on any computer to run your tests.

As for the available tests, I’d say there’s a wide enough variety. Full color tests include the white, black, red, blue, purple, green, cyan, and yellow colors, which can be useful to find out if you have any stuck or deal pixels. Be sure to thoroughly pixel-peep your display while you’re at it.

Users may also inspect their displays through gradients and lines, which can help one further diagnose an issue. There’s also a bit blit mode you can try, but make sure to heed the epilepsy warning, as it displays a variety of colors in quick succession.

Finally, you may also consider using the Endurance mode to look for any image retention problems. This can be especially useful on OLED devices, where such issues are quite common.

IsMyLcdOK is a program that can be immediately useful to any user looking to check if their display is operating within proper quality assurance parameters. Even still, if you don’t think there’s anything wrong with your screen, I would advise against looking for any defects — ignorance is bliss for a reason.
