Dead Pixel Tester

[Frank Bohan]

<quote> Dead Pixel Tester - TFT screens have thousands of pixels, on a
1024x768 monitor, there are three cells for each pixel - one each for red,
green, and blue - which amounts to nearly 2.4 million cells (1024x768x 3 =
2,359,296). There's only a slim chance that all of these will be perfect;
more likely, some will be stuck on (creating a "bright" defect) or off
(resulting in a "dark" defect). DPT was written to help me check my own
screens by cycling through the three primary colours used (red,green,blue)
and all on (white) and all off (black). </quote>

And what do you do with them when you find them?

If you can't see them, then they're not bothering you. If you can see them,
you don't need a detector.

Cheers,

Thanks Frank, as I need glasses to read a monitor properly this looks
like it may come in handy.

Better to find "problems" quickly/easily within a warranty period,
rather than later.

Regards, John.

red,

If you can't see them, then they're not bothering you. If you can see them,
you don't need a detector.

I love logical answers like this one

And what do you do with them when you find them?

Send the monitor back, hopefully under warranty.

If you can't see them, then they're not bothering you. If you can see them,
you don't need a detector.

The detector makes them MUCH easier to spot. I would recommend using
it on every brand new monitor so you can return it immediately if
needed.

If I am unsure about the quality of a monitor, I open a MS Paint window
with a "picture" which has the size of the screen, and "fill" it with
various colours. That should show all bad pixels, if there are any.

That's what the program does. If you have a dog, why bother barking
