Monitor: Detect and correct pixel errors
Are the colors, contrast, sharpness and convergence correctly set on your monitor? With the right tool, you can quickly find pixel errors and correct the settings immediately. We show you how you can optimize your monitor in this way.
Find pixel errors with monitor test
You can use the free Eizo monitor test for this, even if your monitor does not come from this manufacturer:
- Unzip the ZIP file and start the program "Eizo-test9.exe" with a double click.
- The tool does not need to be installed. Click on the German flag in the welcome picture to set the German language.
- If you bought a new monitor, click on the arrow symbol "Start test" to go through all tests. However, if you want to find a specific problem, click on the "Info" button and select certain tests.
- Eight different scenarios are available, including "basic color test" and "brightness / contrast / homogeneity".
- If a setting needs to be changed, the tool explains where and how it is done. If you have never optimized a monitor or if the device does not come from Eizo, you should have the operating manual ready to find the controller you need quickly.
