Preview ready. Inspect locally; no automatic pass/fail result.

Inspect the pattern visually. Fullscreen expands it; Escape or Exit fullscreen returns. Overlay controls can move to expose covered pixels.

What this test can show

Gradients are rendered by the browser for manual inspection. Smooth and intentionally stepped patterns are distinct; visible bands can come from the pattern, browser, operating system or panel. This is not colour calibration, HDR or bit-depth certification. No automatic flashing. Fullscreen may be unavailable.

A FEW SIMPLE STEPS

How to use Gradient Test

  1. Choose a display pattern or inspect the current browser-reported screen information.
  2. Inspect the pattern visually. Fullscreen expands it; Escape or Exit fullscreen returns. Overlay controls can move to expose covered pixels.
  3. Review the live observations. Stop and Reset are available for active tests; fullscreen remains optional.
  4. Download a report if wanted. Hidden tabs, switching or page exit stop active capture or playback.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Why use this tool?

These tools run locally and do not upload your device observations, camera video, microphone input or interaction events. There are no accounts or stored test histories. Camera and microphone access stays under browser permission controls.

Tool inputs stay in your browser. Only your theme preference is saved on this device.

A few things worth knowing

What does this test measure?

Gradients are rendered by the browser for manual inspection. Smooth and intentionally stepped patterns are distinct; visible bands can come from the pattern, browser, operating system or panel. This is not colour calibration, HDR or bit-depth certification. No automatic flashing. Fullscreen may be unavailable.

Can the website certify my hardware is working?

No. The browser exposes a limited set of events and reported settings. Inspect or listen to the actual result and compare with other applications if needed. Missing browser events or unavailable features do not prove a hardware failure.

What happens when I stop or leave?

Active input capture, audio playback and camera/microphone tracks are released on Stop, hidden tab, workspace switching and page exit. Pending permission results are ignored and late tracks stopped. Reports download only when explicitly chosen.
