Dead Pixel Test: Complete Guide to Screen Defect Detection
A dead pixel test is the fastest way to check your monitor, TV or phone screen for defective pixels. A dead pixel is a defect where one point stays permanently black; a stuck pixel stays fixed on a single color (red, green or blue), and a hot pixel stays white. Our free online pixel checker runs entirely in your browser — no installation, no registration and no data collection. Simply launch the full-screen test and switch between solid colors (black, white, red, green, blue) to spot faulty pixels in seconds. The test works on every device: desktop monitors, laptops, Smart TVs, smartphones and tablets.
Beyond solid color tests, this tool includes specialized screen diagnostics: the Gradient test reveals color banding and uniformity issues; the Convergence test checks pixel alignment and geometry; the Noise test can help unstuck subpixels through rapid color changes; the Gamma test evaluates gray tone calibration; and the Sharpness test measures focus and resolution. A built-in Color Blind Mode replaces red and green with cyan and purple tones so color-blind users can test their hardware accurately. All tests run 100% on the client side — your screen data never leaves your device.
