Monitor Test

Just like any object out there, monitors can wear out or get physically damaged. You might notice pixels not properly displaying colors, which isn’t a pretty sight. In case you want to really know whether or not your monitor is damaged or has one or more dead pixels, then you might want to use specialized applications like Monitor Test.

First of all, the application doesn’t take you through a setup process to ensure functionality, so you can run it right after download is done. Moreover, you can even store it on a thumb drive along with other tools of this kind, just in case you need to perform monitor tests on different computers, without affecting the health status, because registry entries remain intact.

All it has to offer can be found in quite a compact window. It offers instant access to several tests which appear on screen. It’s not necessary to cease all other activities or clear the screen, because the entire display is covered with one of four possible item types.

Needless to say that the applications is only a means of finding out whether or not your monitor is damaged, or if there are any dead pixels. It can’t perform any repair operations, nor can it point out to any inconsistencies. This means the entire task of detecting any possible faults is entirely up to you.

The application provides up to four different methods of detection, such as RGB boxes, grid lines, pure white, and text. Although these are pretty different, there’s a high chance to not properly detect faults. It would have been useful to also see a magnifier component, or options to customize colors used on screen.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Monitor Test comes with a set of simple tools to help you detect any dead pixels or color inconsistencies. Although it can’t offer any solutions, it does bring the certainty in stressful, difficult times.
