Test Pattern for LCD Monitors

Please select the test pattern for the resolution that you need to display on your monitor. For best performance, select the maximum resolution that the monitor supports (its native resolution).

The test patterns are graphics files available in both TIFF and JPEG file formats. The easiest way to use the test patterns is to

1. Set the graphics adaptor to display graphics using the required resolution

2. Display the pattern at full screen using any available application

3. Press the monitor's Auto button to perform auto-calibration

4. The centre section of the test pattern is made up of a series of 1 pixel wide black and white lines. If there is some visible noise in this area you may need to fine-tune the geometry adjustments of your monitor.
