Dead Pixel Test – Find Stuck or Dead Pixels Instantly

Why Use a Dead Pixel Test?

Dead or stuck pixels can appear as tiny dark or bright spots on your display. They often go unnoticed during regular use but become obvious on solid backgrounds. A dedicated dead pixel test helps you identify these imperfections quickly, so you can decide whether to seek a repair or replacement under warranty.

How This Fullscreen Tester Works

Our browser-based tool fills your entire screen with a series of solid colors—black, white, red, green, and blue. By cycling through these colors, you can spot pixels that fail to change color or remain permanently lit. The fullscreen mode removes all distractions, making even the smallest defects visible.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Click the fullscreen button to enter immersive mode.
  2. Use the on-screen controls or arrow keys to cycle through colors.
  3. Look closely at each solid color for any dots that stand out.
  4. Note the location of any suspicious pixels for further inspection.
