Blue Screen
A pure blue screen isolates the blue channel and helps reveal defects that may hide on white or red patterns.
Live screen test
Start with the real patterns.
Inspect blue subpixels and channel defects.
What it checks
Use this test when you need a clear visual answer.
Blue Screen is built for quick inspection, not lab measurement. It gives you controlled browser patterns so you can decide whether the screen needs setup, retesting, or warranty attention.

Result guide
How to read the blue screen result
Start with the blue pattern, then switch to adjacent patterns before making a decision. A real display problem usually stays in the same area when the pattern changes. A reflection, viewing angle shift, browser zoom issue, or temporary image setting often changes when you move your head, adjust brightness, or repeat the test after a restart.
Blue subpixel issues
Use this page to isolate blue subpixel issues under controlled screen patterns. Scan the center, edges, and corners, then confirm the same area with a second pattern before you treat it as a panel issue.
Color blotches
Use this page to isolate color blotches under controlled screen patterns. Scan the center, edges, and corners, then confirm the same area with a second pattern before you treat it as a panel issue.
Panel tint behavior
Use this page to isolate panel tint behavior under controlled screen patterns. Scan the center, edges, and corners, then confirm the same area with a second pattern before you treat it as a panel issue.
Workflow
How to use the blue screen
Open the blue screen fullscreen after the red and green screens.
Scan the full panel for pixels or zones that do not match the blue field.
Use the color banding test if gradients or color transitions look rough.
Use cases
Where this screen test is most useful
Subpixel sweep
Blue completes the RGB channel inspection.
OLED tint review
Saturated blue can reveal color unevenness on some panels.
Display troubleshooting
Compare with red and green to isolate a channel issue.
Reading the result
Practical tips before you decide
Blue can hide small defects
Inspect slowly because dark defects may be less obvious on blue.
Compare all RGB colors
A defect that appears only in one primary color points to a subpixel issue.
Use gradients next
If solid blue looks uneven, check blue gradients for banding or tint transitions.
Device setup
Use the same screen test across real viewing setups
The blue screen works best when the test matches the way you actually use the display. Keep the room lighting, brightness, scaling, and viewing distance close to normal, then repeat the pattern only after a setting change. This keeps the result practical instead of turning the page into a lab claim.
Desktop and laptop monitors
Use native resolution, 100 percent browser zoom, and the monitor picture mode you normally use. If you change brightness, contrast, overdrive, or color temperature, repeat the blue screen pass before comparing results.
TVs, projectors, and large panels
Step back to your real viewing distance after a close inspection. Large screens can exaggerate small edge, glow, focus, or processing issues, so confirm anything suspicious with normal video, games, or desktop content.
Phones and tablets
Rotate the device if the browser supports it, clean the glass, and reduce reflections before judging the result. Some mobile browsers limit fullscreen behavior, but the same pattern sequence still helps with quick display checks.

Red Screen
A pure red screen isolates the red channel so stuck subpixels, tint shifts, and color uniformity issues stand out.
Green Screen
A pure green screen stresses the green subpixel channel and makes channel-specific defects easier to spot.
Stuck Pixel Test
A stuck pixel often stays red, green, or blue. Cycle primary colors to spot the subpixel that is not changing correctly.
Color Banding Test
Smooth gradients reveal banding, posterization, and compression-like steps that flat color screens can hide.
FAQ
Blue Screen questions
These answers match the visible test on this page and avoid warranty or measurement claims that depend on your specific display.
Why test a blue screen?
It isolates the blue subpixel channel and helps reveal channel-specific pixel defects.
Can blue screen show color banding?
A solid blue screen shows uniformity. Use the color banding test for smooth transitions.
Is blue harder to inspect?
It can be. Move slowly and compare against red, green, white, and black patterns.
Can I use it on a phone?
Yes. Open the page on the phone and use fullscreen if your browser supports it.
Can I use the blue screen on more than one device?
Yes. Open the same page on each monitor, laptop, phone, tablet, TV, or projector, then compare the blue screen result under similar brightness and room lighting. Device browsers can handle fullscreen differently, but the visual patterns are still useful for a practical check.
Does this online blue screen test replace professional calibration?
No. This page is a browser-based visual test for finding obvious display problems and setup issues. For color-critical work, brightness targets, or measured calibration, use a hardware colorimeter or professional display workflow after the visual pass.
How to Check a Monitor for Dead Pixels
A reliable dead pixel check uses fullscreen solid colors, steady lighting, and a repeatable inspection path. The goal is to separate real panel defects from dust, reflections, scaling artifacts, and temporary cable issues.
How to Test a New Monitor
A new monitor should be tested before you mount it, remove packaging, or let the return window pass. Start with panel defects, then verify uniformity, tone, text clarity, refresh rate, and real content.
Monitor Calibration Guide
Browser tests can help you set a monitor to a sensible baseline and spot obvious problems. They do not replace a colorimeter, but they make brightness, contrast, gamma, sharpness, and banding easier to judge before hardware calibration.
