This program will help you calibrate your liquid crystal (LCD) or CRT monitor. Lutcurve takes advantage of the knowledge that the eye has a high sensitivity to neutral gray. Calculation of test gamma patterns for which you will adjust the monitor is based on the mathematical relationships described in the article by A. Roberts "Measuring the transfer characteristic (gamma) of display devices". Atrise Lutcurve allows you to correct even non-linearity in color display. This is especially true for LCD monitors. The number of calibration points is unlimited, so it is quite possible to achieve excellent results even on old monitors with a dead backlight. The program fully supports multi-display configurations. You can adjust the image of different monitors to each other, so that the colors are the same everywhere. Atrise Lutcurve has a multilingual interface, Russian is also among the supported languages.

TFT test monitor 1.52.
Monitor testing programs invariably grab the attention of PC users. Perhaps, they are the most popular among all information and diagnostic utilities. And all because each user will sooner or later take care of buying a new monitor. Just choosing a manufacturer and model is not enough. According to the rules, the monitor at the time of purchase must be meticulously tested, especially for dead pixels.
Why we are testing the monitor:
Monitor test programs make it easy to test and tune a CRT monitor. Special test images (templates) allow you to identify such defects as lack of convergence of rays for different colors, insufficient focusing and voltage stabilization, geometry distortions, low contrast, uneven glow of the phosphor, dead pixels After reviewing several copies, we can choose the one with deviations from norms are minimal.
LCD monitors require a different approach. All monitors based on the LCD panel can not have problems with geometry, convergence, stabilization, focus, etc. And the scatter of parameters is generally not characteristic of them, with the exception of "broken" pixels, which are still found, despite all the efforts of manufacturers. However, LCD monitors should be tested too. Only not different copies, but models from different manufacturers. LCD monitors differ significantly from each other in such parameters as viewing angles, persistence (persistence and blurring), natural color reproduction, color resolution, brightness and contrast, and uniformity of backlighting. These parameters are either not indicated at all in the characteristics, or are measured using completely inconsistent methods.

If you need to perform a monitor test and appreciate its working qualities, I recommend paying attention to the PassMark MonitorTest program. The utility will sequentially generate test patterns on the monitor screen in different resolutions and color depths. The developers of this program assure that on the basis of such testing, you can choose the most optimal monitor settings and keep your eyes healthy. The program can test and evaluate the quality of CRT, LCD and plasma monitors.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) - liquid crystal monitors (flat panel display based on liquid crystals).
TFT (Thin Film Trnsistor) is a type of liquid crystal display (thin film transistor).
PDP (Plasma Visplay Panel) - plasma monitors (between two glass surfaces an inert gas argon or neon).
CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) - cathode ray tube monitors (already retired).
I think you understand that neglecting such monitor testing is unnecessary, especially if you work many hours at the computer.
A properly configured monitor reduces eye strain.
The monitor is a very important digital device with which we have to communicate for long hours. Someone makes money on the Internet, while someone is just having fun at the computer. Both need to monitor vision and.
Therefore, dear colleagues, guys who are starting the path of an Internet businessman or employees working in an office, pay special attention to your monitor and select the optimal settings for it. This way you will keep your eyes healthy for many years to come. Agree, no one wants to be among those who lost their health trying to make money, and then lost all the money trying to regain their health.
Keep in mind that a properly sized and adjusted monitor reduces the strain on your eyes. And by creating small breaks for yourself at the computer (so as not to forget to take a break, you can install the Workrave program) and doing gymnastics for the eyes, you will significantly reduce the risk of developing myopia.
If you are a blogger, copywriter, office or company employee and you often have to work with text on an LCD monitor, then try to reduce its brightness and contrast, so you will avoid unnecessary strain on your eyes. After working for an hour or two on a bright LCD with texts, you run the risk of getting very tired. At the same time, if you work with graphics, and your rest is spent playing games, then high levels of brightness and contrast are required. Therefore, do not forget to correctly adjust the monitor colors - sometimes special software and color reference samples are included in the package for this purpose.
Formally speaking, LCD and CRT monitors have some inherent disadvantages. So, old CRTs are not always doing well with the geometry of the screen, while LCDs have so-called "broken" pixels and sometimes they are too inertial (in new generations this drawback is less and less relevant), that is, behind moving objects on the monitor, there is a loop. You can check the quality and find the optimal settings on the LCD, PDP or CRT (old models) monitor using the Passmark MonitorTest program. The program works under the Windows Xp / 7 (32/64-bit) operating system.
It should be said that the program for the monitor test is paid, but in the free mode it will work for 30 days. In the registered version, the program's capabilities will become broader. Regardless of the registration of the program, it is still possible to perform actual testing for the touch screen Touch screen tests, Multitouch screen tests (touch screen tests) only on the operating system Windows 7. As part of the classic tests to select the optimal monitor settings, it is possible to check the LCD monitor for dead pixels.
Tests for optimal monitor settings.
The main window of the PassMark MonitorTest program displays information about the monitor, video card and contains test management tools. The "Video Info" parameter group provides information about the video card and monitor. I think you will be able to interpret this information without much difficulty. The "Test config" group is much more interesting for us.
The "Select video mode" list is intended to select the video mode in which testing will be performed. The "Select test" list allows you to select all or one required test for testing the monitor. A considerable number of tests are available in the program, which I will briefly discuss below.
So, by selecting the "All Tests" parameter from the "Select test" list, you run all the tests sequentially - to start testing, click "Start". If you do not need complex testing of the monitor, then you can select one specific type of test from the drop-down list.
The most basic test "Master Screen" is designed to assess the overall quality of the monitor and the optimal setting.
The circles, of which there are 4 on this screen, should be perfectly round, without deformations and without turning them into ovals. However, on monitors with an aspect ratio other than 4: 3, the small circles may be slightly oval. Along the outer edge of the image there is a border consisting of black and white cells. If part of the border extends beyond the screen or there is white space between the screen edge and the border, the monitor needs adjusting the size or position of the image.
The four areas of alternating white and black stripes along the edges of the large circle have a pitch of 1 pixel (top left), 2 pixels (bottom left), 3 pixels (top right), 4 pixels (bottom right). You should clearly see individual stripes even on a single pixel grid. If the grating is not displayed as a grating, but as a grayed out area, you may need to set a lower resolution for your monitor. Well, if the details are indistinguishable on the two-pixel lattice and changing the resolution will not give results, this is already a cause for concern.
A strip of 3 primary colors (Red, Green, Blue) and 3 complementary colors (Yellow, Cyan, Magenta) runs through the center of the large circle. Colors should have the same brightness and intensity. The boundaries between colors should be clear.
Notice the other figures on the screen as well. Their colors should be uniform, the boundaries between them clear and perfectly straight. Also look at the control panel located at the bottom of the screen - it serves to navigate through the tests (arrow buttons), with its help you can call up help, close the test window. Also, the panel can be removed from the screen if it interferes with your work with the test - this is done by the button with the arrow pointing down. To display the panel again, use the "H" key on your keyboard.
Tests "Solid Black", "Solid Red", "Solid Green", "Solid Blue", "Solid White" fill the screen with black, red, green, blue and white, respectively. The color brightness across the entire screen should be the same, without dark or light spots. In addition, these tests can be useful in finding dead pixels on LCD monitors. It is better to perform a dead pixel monitor test immediately after purchase.
The Scale Black-Red, Scale Black-Green, Scale Black-Blue and Scale Black-White tests fill the screen with gradients, respectively, from black to red at maximum brightness, from black to green, to blue and to white ... The change in brightness should progress at the same rate, top, bottom and center of the image. That is, here you should see a smooth color change, the brightness in the lower and upper parts of the monitor should be the same.
Moire interference 1, Moire interference 2 tests are used to detect moiré. If streaks, circles are clearly visible on the output image, this is not very good and may indicate focusing problems. Slight moiré is normal.
The "Convergence dots" (displays a grid of white dots) and "Convergence lines" (displays a grid of white lines) tests display white dots and lines on a black screen. The screen should be perfectly black, and the dots and lines should be white, without admixture of other colors. The image must be clear.
The CrossHatch test identifies problems with screen geometry and viewable image sizing. All circles should be perfectly round, and a dotted line should be visible at the very edge of the screen (zoom in to see the dotted line).
The tests "Mask" and "Mask2" are for adjusting the white balance.
Tests "Gamma Red", "Gamma Green", "Gamma Blue", "Gamma White" are designed to test the gamma of the monitor.
The Contrast Red, Contrast Green, Contrast Green, Contrast Blue and Contrast Black and White tests are designed to test the contrast of a monitor. The test displays colors of different intensities, the presence of a well-noticeable difference between the intensities of O and 20% is considered good.
The Zooming test displays multiple rectangles. Outside (thin white line) and several rectangles inside that periodically switch from black to white. The less the image flickers and moves, the better.
Test "Fonts Test" displays texts written in different fonts - from 13 to 6 points. They should all be readable. Using the Font button on the song of the test tools, you can customize the colors of the text and background.
"LCD Pixel Persistence" - this test is designed to study the persistence of LCD monitors. It outputs several rectangles moving at different speeds. A monitor with high inertia will display a trail to the left of the moving figure. The shorter the train, the better.
The Printei Test compares the colors (monitor color test) you see on the screen with the colors you see when you print images on a printer. Print a test image by pressing the "Print This Page" button on the control panel and compare the printed colors with the screen colors. To ensure they match, adjust your monitor or printer if it supports color matching.
Free Nokia Monitor Test to test and optimize your monitor.
The program also has in its arsenal not a bad set of tools for testing the monitor and may well check the geometry, contrast, brightness, resolution, focusing, color rendition and even the speakers built into the monitor. Of course, PassMark MonitorTest has a number of advantages, especially in its registered version, but if you want to save money, you can use the Nokia Monitor Test utility.
Testing has shown that Nokia Monitor Test, a free analogue for optimizing the monitor and finding dead pixels on the monitor, does its job well. Unfortunately, the program is no longer supported by its developer, but it is still relevant today. Since it is no longer on the developer's site, and on all kinds of portals it can be downloaded only through file sharing, I decided to save your nerves and time by posting the latest version (v2.0) via a direct link. The program works under Windows XP / 7 (32-bit) operating system.
A program for detecting broken pixels on LCD monitors. The negative quality of LCDs is the possible presence of defective pixels. Such a pixel can have various errors in the display of red, green and blue colors, and can also be illuminated or darkened. To identify such defects, the Dead Pixel Tester program is used. It is a simple and reliable way to test monitors at home.
Dead Pixel Testerfills the entire screen area with a user-selectable color, making the corrupted pixel clearly visible. This kind of dot does not represent any negative action on the monitor, but it contributes to additional eye strain for the user.

A little digression into the problem:
It would seem, what is the problem? If the transistor does not work, then the equipment can be repaired or exchanged under warranty. However, the technology for the production of panels is so complex that it is impossible to obtain large batches of panels without dead pixels. And if only "clean" panels went into production, the cost of TVs would be very high.
Therefore, "dead pixels" are divided into three types, and all panels are divided into 4 classes (specified in the ISO-13406 standard).
Type 1 - white pixel on black background
not.
Type 2 - black pixel on a white background.
Type 3 - colored (red, blue, green, yellow).
First grade
does not allow the appearance of "dead pixels"
Second class
allows the presence of 2 defects of types 1 and 2, as well as 5 defects of type 3. This class is the most common in the TV market. Therefore, the presence of up to five defective pixels, according to the manufacturers, is NOT a MARRIAGE.
Third class
- may have five dead pixels of type 1, 15 of type 2 and 50 defects of the third type.
Fourth grade
- allows the presence of 50, 150 and 500 defects of types 1, 2 and 3, respectively.
It is often difficult or even impossible to determine the presence of "dead pixels" by eye when watching TV programs or DVDs. For example, a stuck pixel may only appear as a green dot on a red background and in the corner of the screen. You can watch TV for a long time and not notice it, since the dot is small, and the image changes quite quickly and the combination of these colors in this place is not often found. In addition, "dead pixels" can appear over time as a result of the breakdown of the transistor responsible for this point on the screen.
