Widescreen Gaming Forum

I just got my Dell 2005FPW yesterday and I wanted to make sure that all the pixels are fine. Since this is my first LCD I wasn't sure what to use for see all the seperate colours and other aspects of the monitor like geometry and text sharpness etc etc.

So I made this small utility to see how things are.

You can download it for free and if you like it then you are free to use it.

Thanks for your input.

Cheers :)

So u guyz reckon I am using the right thing to check things out..?

Sounds useful - I just make five images the size of my screen, then use WinXP's 'Preview' feature to watch a slow slideshow of them - one red, one green, one blue, one black and one white. ;) It works for me, but there will be people who would rather a program did it all. :D

I'd reccomed this to anyone! Friendly, easy to use and best of all does the job with little hassle. Well done mate.

Thanks for the input but I wanted something which can be useful not just to me but to others aswell. :)

I sent this to a friend of mine and he actually burnt it onto CD and shows it to customer before selling any LCDs instore. He works as a sales fella in a computer hardware store.

Yeah, that's fair. :) The next time I have cause to DPC a monitor, I'll test it out. ;) Thanks for making it freely available to the community. :D

My pleasure fellas. You guyz have helped me choosing a monitor so this is the least I can do. :)

Hehe - I already know I have a couple of bad pixels, but I'm going to use this anyway - thanks!!! :D

Thanks. You may be more of a help. Could u please tell me if this utility need to have anything else to check screens..?

Cheers
