If you bought yourself a shiny new computer monitor you might want to ensure that the monitor is calibrated correctly. This is also important for computer monitors that are already in use to ensure that they display the colors and picture correctly on the screen. There are basically two different parts of monitor calibration. The first is ensuring that the screen is positioned correctly, the second that the colors are calibrated so that they are displayed as they should.

Eizo Monitortest is but one of many computer monitor calibration software programs available (read: Online Computer Monitor Calibration, Monitor Calibration Wizard, Easy Monitor Calibration or Calibrate Your Flat Screen Computer Monitor for additional options). The Eizo Monitortest tool has been developed for Eizo computer monitors. It can however be used to calibrate monitors on all computer systems regardless of the connected computer monitor.

The calibration tool is available in three different languages .It will display a series of test screens on startup that can be used to calibrate the monitor correctly. It does not provide a lot of explanation about the tests but its 24 tests should cover all aspects of the process. Tests can be deselected from being run in the program’s settings. The following tests are performed by default:

Autoadjust Test
Basic colors test
Moare test
Gemoetry test
Brightness, contrast, homogenity
Convergence test
Speed test
Sharpness test

Eizo Monitortest is a portable application that can be used to calibrate computer monitors. It is available for most Microsoft operating systems and for MacOSX.
