Dead Pixel Tester 3.0

With Dead Pixel Tester (DPT), you can test your LCD monitor for dead pixels. LCD screens have thousands of pixels, on a 1024x768 screen, there are three cells for each pixel - one for red, green and blue - which amounts to almost 2.4 million cells (1024x768 x 3 = 2359296 ). There's only a slim chance that all of this is perfect; most likely, some will get stuck (creating a “light” defect) or dead (resulting in a “dark” defect). Dead Pixel Tester was written to help you test your monitor by walking through the three primary colors used (red, green, blue) and on (white) and off (black).

Features of Dead Pixel Tester

• Make sure your monitor is free of dirt and stains, if possible clean it with the correct recommended products.
• Make sure the screen resolution is appropriate for your monitor, for example, if your monitor is 1680x1050, make sure the resolution for that monitor is set at 1680x1050.
• Use the right mouse button to turn the main menu on and off, so you can see the entire screen without interference.
• Use the left mouse button to cycle through the basic application colors of Black (Check for stuck pixels), Blue (Check for dead blue pixels), Red (Check for dead red pixels), Green (Check for dead green pixels) and White (Check for group of dead pixels)
• Every time you choose a new color, scan your screen carefully for defects (Black dots will be dead pixels on any color screen)
• Use the [M] key to toggle the Marker at any suspicious point on the screen. This allows you to scan the rest of the screen and return to that area / check if the screen is clean.
