It is always a good idea to test the computer monitor from time to time, especially after installing new video card drivers, operating systems or purchase a new one. Monitor Test is actually a name of an application that can aid the user in testing a computer monitor.
It was mentioned at the New Morning site which had a short article about it and a link to the developer’s website. Monitor Test is a portable application which makes it a handy tool to include on an USB Stick that contains all kind of tech support tools.
Once executed the application starts in full screen mode showing all the tests that can be performed. Each test can be selected with a left-click of the computer mouse. The utility offers a wide variety of monitor tests like colours, gradients, geometry, speed and text tests.
As you can see lots to test and explore. Some monitor tests span across several screens which can be switched with another left-click of the mouse.
Monitor tests works well with aspect ratios of 16:9, 16:10 wide screen monitors and 4:3 monitors. No information about operating system compatibility is available on the author’s website. Monitor Test runs fine on Windows XP.
