How this test works

Cycle through solid colors and inspect the panel visually. The test uses standard browser capabilities and does not require installing an application.

When to use it

  • Before buying a used or refurbished laptop.
  • When troubleshooting a device after a repair or update.
  • Before selling or handing a device to someone else.

Important limitations

A website cannot fully diagnose every hardware component. Treat the result as a practical screening check. For faults that matter financially or affect safety, use operating-system diagnostics or a qualified repair technician.

Frequently asked questions

What is a dead pixel?

A dead pixel typically remains dark because its subpixels are not producing light. A stuck pixel may remain on one color.

Can this tool fix dead pixels?

No. It helps you inspect the display visually; it does not repair the panel.
