Monitor Test — Free Online Display Testing
Test your monitor, laptop or phone screen right in the browser. Check for dead pixels, backlight bleed, ghosting, refresh rate and color — then mark and diagnose anything that looks wrong.
How the test works
Every tool here is built around the same honest loop. Nothing pretends to detect defects automatically — your browser can’t know what your physical panel actually does, so instead we help you see, mark and interpret problems yourself.
Fullscreen solid colors reveal defects a busy desktop hides.
Tap anywhere you see something wrong. A thin box records the spot.
A few plain questions sort dead, stuck and bleed apart.
Stuck pixels get a non-contact color-cycling fix attempt.
Re-check the same spots to confirm whether the fix worked.

Testing a monitor in your browser
A good monitor test does not need any software. Because your browser can paint the whole screen a single color and read back basic display metrics, a browser-based monitor tester can cover the checks most people actually need: dead and stuck pixels, backlight bleed, motion ghosting, refresh rate, resolution and rough color uniformity. That is exactly what this site does, and it runs the same on a desktop monitor, a laptop panel or a phone.
If you are testing a monitor you just bought or are about to sell, start with the Dead Pixel Test — it is the check most likely to turn up a real, returnable fault. On a PC monitor with a high refresh panel, the Refresh Rate Test and Ghosting Test confirm you are actually getting the motion clarity you paid for. For a laptop or phone screen, the Backlight Bleed Test and a quick pass of the white and black screens catch the most common panel problems.
What this monitor test screen checks
- Dead & stuck pixels — solid color fields across the whole screen.
- Backlight bleed & IPS glow — a full-black field with a dark-adaptation timer.
- Refresh rate — measured from real frame timing, compared to reported Hz.
- Ghosting & response — moving objects at adjustable speed.
- Resolution, DPR & color depth — read live from your device.
- Color & grayscale — calibration charts and a full-color sweep.
Frequently asked questions
Can a browser really detect dead pixels?
It can show you the colors that make dead pixels visible, but it cannot detect them for you — no web page can read the state of a physical pixel. This test helps you find and classify defects; it never claims a false “we found N dead pixels.”
Is anything uploaded or saved?
No. Every test runs entirely on your device. The few things we remember during a session — your marks and diagnoses — stay in your browser tab and are never sent to a server.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything works in a normal browser tab. For the most accurate results, use native resolution, 100% zoom, and full brightness in a dark room.
