Backlight Bleed

See light leaking from the edges in a dark room? Run the 30-second black-screen bleed test and learn what is normal for IPS panels.

Fake Broken Screen

A full-screen cracked-glass prank you can trigger in one tap — harmless, lightweight and convincing from across the room.

What each full-screen color reveals

Every solid color stresses a different part of the panel. Testing with a single color misses defects, so work through all of them — it takes less than a minute.

Screen colorWhat it helps you find
WhiteDead (black) pixels, dust, smudges, uneven brightness, yellow or pink tints
BlackStuck (bright) pixels, backlight bleed, IPS glow, edge light leaks
Red / Green / BlueStuck pixels and dead sub-pixels that only show on one channel
Yellow / CyanColor uniformity faults and tinted patches across the panel
PurpleUniformity and tint checks on OLED and wide-gamut displays

How to test your screen in 30 seconds

  1. 1

    Clean the screen

    Wipe the display with a dry microfiber cloth first, so dust is not mistaken for dead pixels.

  2. 2

    Pick a color

    Start with white, then switch to black, red, green and blue. Each color reveals a different defect.

  3. 3

    Go full screen

    Tap any color block above. Press Esc (or tap) to exit; use ← → to switch colors while testing.

  4. 4

    Inspect closely

    Scan every corner at normal distance, then up close. Any dot or line that refuses to change is a defect.

  5. 5

    Check the edges

    On black, look for light leaking around the borders — that is backlight bleed.

  6. 6

    Note and compare

    Photograph anything suspicious and compare against our guides before deciding on a repair or return.

Dead pixel, stuck pixel or dust?

  • Dead pixel — stays black on every color, easiest to see on the white screen. It is a permanent hardware fault.
  • Stuck pixel — stays red, green, blue or white while the rest of the screen changes, easiest to see on the black screen. Sometimes recovers by itself.
  • Dust or smudge — looks blurry, moves when you wipe the screen and changes appearance at an angle. Clean and test again before assuming the worst.

Found a defect? Check the manufacturer's pixel policy — most brands specify how many defective pixels qualify for a warranty replacement, so photograph each one. If you see lines instead of dots, start with the lines-on-screen diagnosis; for glow at the edges, run the backlight bleed test.

White Screen Test FAQ

What is a white screen test?+

It fills your entire display with pure white so every pixel shows the same color. Dead pixels, dust, smudges, uneven brightness and color tints become easy to spot against the uniform background.

How do I test my screen for dead pixels?+

Open the white full screen and look for black dots, then switch to black and look for bright dots, then cycle red, green and blue. A dead pixel stays black on every color; a stuck pixel stays colored while everything else changes.

Does the white screen test work on phones and TVs?+

Yes. The tool runs in any modern browser — Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows, Mac, Chromebook and smart TVs. On devices without fullscreen support the color still fills the whole viewport.

Is this free? Do I need to install anything?+

It is completely free and runs entirely in your browser. There is nothing to install and no account to create. Colors are generated locally on your device.

Can a white screen fix a stuck pixel?+

No. Full-screen colors help you find defects, not repair them. Dead pixels are permanent hardware faults; stuck pixels occasionally recover on their own after the panel warms up.
