Common Questions

Gray Screen FAQs

Why is a gray screen the best monitor test?

Mid-tones like 50% gray immediately expose backlight inconsistencies, OLED vertical banding, and dirty screen effect that pure black or white can hide.

How do I test my screen properly?

Dim your room lights, open this page in fullscreen (press F), and inspect the corners, center, and edges for darker or tinted blotches.
