Advanced Tips
Optimal Testing Environment
To obtain the most accurate test results, it is recommended to test in a dark environment and adjust the monitor brightness to a normal usage level.
Regular Testing
It is recommended to conduct a monitor test every 3-6 months to discover potential issues in a timely manner. Newly purchased monitors should be fully tested within the return/exchange period.
Multi-angle Observation
Observing the screen from different angles can make it easier to spot certain types of screen defects, especially for monitors with VA and TN panels.
