如果眼睛是心灵的窗户,那显示器就应该是电脑的东西吧?无论您的显卡多么华丽,您定制的操作系统多么漂亮,如果您的显示器做得不好,那将毫无意义。
好消息是,如今很难找到完全是垃圾的显示器,但有很多人每天都在使用电脑显示器,却没有充分发挥其潜力。
好消息是您可以使用一系列基于 Web 的应用程序来测试和校准您的显示器。确保您了解甚至解决您可能遇到的任何问题。
因为这些是基于网络的,所以通常意味着它们可以使用浏览器处理任何事情!为了帮助您入门,这三个工具将涵盖常见监视器问题的大多数基础。
模糊克星
Blur Busters 旨在(Blur Busters)评估显示器的运动处理能力。平板显示器的刷新率能力一直在突飞猛进。如今,几乎每台显示器都至少支持 60Hz,许多显示器现在支持更高的频率,例如 122Hz、144Hz 等等!
正如他们的名字所暗示的那样,Blur Busters在他们的“ (Blur Busters)testufo ”网站上提供了许多测试,旨在揭示给定显示器的运动模糊程度。
这些测试可以帮助您找到显示器设置的最佳位置,以最大程度地减少不必要的模糊。只要系统有互联网连接,它还提供了一种在购买前测试显示器的简单方法。
如果您想使用此站点专业地评估显示器,他们甚至发明了一种(相对)便宜的追踪摄像头系统,可以以与制造商系统相媲美的精度捕捉运动伪影。
死像素好友
您的LCD屏幕由数百万个由子像素组成的微小像素组成,这些像素反映了用于混合所有其他颜色的原色。这些制造的工厂必须非常干净,并且过程必须精确控制。
制造过程中的单一规格灰尘或小故障可能会破坏单个像素或子像素。然后,这会显示为“卡”在相同颜色上的像素,或者只是死角和黑暗的像素。
在过去,即使在高端显示器上,这也是一个真正的问题。如果液晶显示器以现代标准衡量,那么早期制造商认为可以接受的损坏像素数量会令人震惊。这些天来,我们还没有遇到有任何坏点的新显示器,但它仍然会发生。
不同的制造商对坏点的产品退货有不同的政策,因此请确保您了解自己的政策。最好立即测试新显示器,因为您通常可以在最初几天内出于任何原因更换它。
要检查死像素或卡死像素,您只需要Dead Pixel Buddy 即可(Dead Pixel Buddy)。一个简单而出色的网络应用程序,可让您快速访问一系列全屏颜色,旨在揭示显示器可能具有的各种类型的损坏像素。如果您怀疑有坏点或想要筛选新显示器,这应该是您的第一站。
艺卓显示器测试
虽然Blur Busters和Dead Pixel Buddy很棒,但它们的应用程序非常有限。对于一套全面的通用显示器测试工具,您只需Eizo Monitor Test 即可( Eizo Monitor Test)。
Eizo 本身就是专业显示器制造商,例如具有内置颜色校准传感器的ColorEdge系列。(ColorEdge)幸运的是,您无需拥有他们的一台显示器即可使用这套出色的免费显示器测试。
每个都附带一个简单的解释,说明您应该看到什么以及如何调整事物以使其看起来正确。这种套件过去需要花费一大笔零钱,现在只需点击一下即可。
我现在可以清楚地看到
有了这三个网址,您现在可以快速找出这张图片的问题所在。或者任何图片,如果我们诚实的话。您可怜的眼睛再也不会遭受低于标准的显示器图像的侮辱。
3 Tools to Diagnose and Troubleshoot Problems with Your Monitor
If the eyes are the windows to the soυl, the
monitor has to be somеthing sіmilar for a computer, right? No matter hоw fancy
yоur graphics card or beautiful yoυr customized operating system is, it won’t
meаn anythіng if your monitor doesn’t do it justice.
The good news is that these days it’s pretty hard to find a monitor that’s outright trash, but there are plenty of people who use their computer display every day without realizing their full potential.
The good news is that you can use a range of web-based applications to test and calibrate your display. Ensuring that you pick up and even fix any problems you may have.
Because these are web-based it generally means they will work on anything with a browser! To get you started, these three tools will cover most bases when it comes to common monitor issues.
Blur Busters
Blur Busters is all about assessing the motion handling abilities of your displays. The refresh rate abilities of flat panels displays has been improving in leaps and bounds. Just about every monitor supports at least 60Hz these days and many monitors now support much higher rates such as 122Hz, 144Hz and more!
As their name suggests, Blur Busters provides a number of tests at their “testufo” website that are designed to reveal how much motion blur a given monitor has.
These tests can help you find the sweet spot for your monitor’s settings to minimize unwanted blur. It also provides an easy way to test a monitor before you buy it, as long as the system has an internet connection.
If you want to professionally assess displays
using this site, they’ve even invented a (relatively) inexpensive pursuit
camera system that can capture motion artifacts with accuracy comparable to
manufacturer systems.
Dead Pixel Buddy
Your LCD screen consists of millions of microscopic pixels made from sub-pixels that reflect the primary colors used to mix every other color. The factories these are made in have to be incredibly clean and the process precisely controlled.
A single spec of dust or small glitch in the manufacturing process can break individual pixels or sub-pixels. This then shows up as pixels that are “stuck” on the same color or simply dead and dark.
In the old days this was a real problem, even on high-end monitors. The number of broken pixels that manufacturers saw as acceptable in the early days if LCD monitors would be shocking by modern standards. These days we have yet to encounter a new monitor that has any dead pixels, but it does still happen.
Different manufacturers have different policies on product returns for dead pixels, so make sure you know yours. It’s best to test a new monitor immediately because often you can exchange it for any reason within the first few days.
To check for dead or stuck pixels, all you need is Dead Pixel Buddy. A simple yet brilliant web app that lets you quickly access a range of full-screen colors designed to reveal the various types of broken pixels a display can have. It should be your first stop if you suspect a dead pixel or want to screen a new monitor.
Eizo Monitor Test
While Blur Busters and Dead Pixel Buddy are great, they have a very narrow set of applications. For a comprehensive set of general monitor testing tools, you need look no further than Eizo Monitor Test.
Eizo are themselves a maker of professional
monitors, such as the ColorEdge range featuring built-in color calibration
sensors. Luckily you don’t need to own one of their monitors to make use of
this excellent set of free monitor tests.
Each comes with a simple explanation of what
you should be seeing and how to adjust things to make it look right. This sort
of suite used to cost a chunk of change back in the day, now it’s just a click
away.
I Can See Clearly Now
Armed with just these three web addresses, you
are now equipped to quickly figure out what’s wrong with this picture. Or any
picture if we’re being honest. Never again will your poor eyes have to suffer
the indignity of a subpar monitor image.
