CRT monitor testsThe following quick tests were designed for CRT monitors only. LCD flat panels use a completely different technology, they have other characteristics and cannot then be tested in the same way. Click here if you are using a LCD flat panel.
Verify your display adapter is set to 24 or 32-bit color mode. These are the only modes giving enough levels to be precise. Let your monitor warm-up for at least 15 minutes before going on with the test.
1. Click on the first dark square you can see in the image below.
2. Click on the last light square you can see in the image below.
3. Squint your eyes while looking at the image below to get the background lines to merge. Click on the gray square that seems to disappear in the background.
4. Click on the button to display the results of your monitor analysis by ColorWizzard.
Don't worry! If your monitor fails one of the tests, that does not mean there is something wrong with the hardware. Though in some cases it may be, it is generally just a matter of properly setting your monitor. This is where ColorWizzard starts helping!
