How it works and what the result means

These are visual inspection patterns. The page cannot read individual panel pixels, measure nits or contrast ratio, diagnose a panel automatically, or repair dead pixels.

Reading the result

A retained image can be temporary retention or permanent panel wear. A single brief observation cannot distinguish every case.

Worked example and assumptions

Steady mid-gray and solid colors

Look for retained logos, interface outlines or uneven tint at normal viewing distance. Retention may be temporary; permanent burn-in cannot be repaired by this page.

What to check next

Compare multiple fields and follow the display manufacturer guidance for retention checks. Avoid leaving a static test field on screen for long periods.

Use native screen resolution and 100% browser zoom for fine patterns. Disable adaptive brightness for comparisons. PWM inspection needs an external camera; banding can also be a camera artifact.

Frequently asked questions

Does the test remove OLED burn-in?

No. It is an inspection pattern. It does not reverse physical wear or replace the maintenance procedures provided by the display manufacturer.

How do I start the Screen Burn-In Test?

Choose a pattern and open fullscreen. Inspect the entire panel, then click to cycle patterns. Press Escape to leave fullscreen.

Does this tool require a download or an account?

No. Open the interactive tool above in a modern browser. The instructions and explanations are available even with JavaScript disabled; running a test needs JavaScript.

Why can two attempts give different results?

Power settings, background tasks, browser scheduling, operating-system input processing and device settings affect measurements. Compare repeated attempts with identical settings rather than the single highest score.
