How to test your phone display

Follow these simple steps to run a complete screen test and detect display issues.

1

Start the test

The test begins with a black screen. Look for any bright dots (stuck pixels) or white spots (backlight bleed).

2

Cycle through colors

Tap the screen or use the buttons to cycle through: Black, White, Red, Green, Blue, and Gradient.

3

Check each color

On white screens, look for dark spots (dead pixels). On red/green/blue, look for pixels that don't match.

4

Mark issues

Tap any suspicious pixels to mark them. The counter tracks how many you've found.

📱 iPhone display test

Works on all iPhones via Safari. Tests OLED and LCD displays for dead pixels and burn-in.

🤖 Android screen test

Compatible with Chrome and Samsung Internet. Tests AMOLED, OLED, and LCD screens.

💡 Dim the lights

Test in a dark room for the best visibility of backlight bleed and dark pixel issues.

👀 Look closely

Examine each color carefully. Dead pixels are black, stuck pixels are colored and don't change.

Frequently asked questions about display testing

A display and dead pixel test checks your screen for dead pixels (black dots), stuck pixels (colored dots), color accuracy, backlight bleed, and screen uniformity using a browser-based tool with no app install.

Open this page and cycle through the color test patterns (Black, White, Red, Green, Blue). Look for any pixels that don't match the background color — those are dead or stuck pixels.

Yes. The tool works on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch through Safari. It tests all screen types including OLED and LCD displays.

Yes. The display and dead pixel test is completely free, with no signup, no ads, and no data collected.

Look for dead pixels (black dots), stuck pixels (colored dots), uneven brightness, backlight bleed (light patches on dark screens), and color accuracy issues.

A dead pixel is completely black and never lights up. A stuck pixel is stuck on one color (red, green, or blue) and doesn't change with the screen content.

Backlight bleed is when light from the screen's backlight leaks through the edges or corners, creating bright patches on dark screens. It's most visible on black screens in a dark room.

If you find dead pixels, try cleaning your screen (sometimes it's just dirt). If they persist, check if your device is under warranty — many manufacturers cover dead pixels.
