Display guides
Understand what your screen is showing.
Practical explanations for pixels, panel variation, OLED wear, motion, refresh rate, and color—without turning browser observations into laboratory claims.
Pixels & panels
2 guidesDead pixel vs stuck pixel: what are you actually seeing?
Learn how dead, stuck, and bright pixels differ, which screen colors reveal each fault, and how to verify a suspicious spot without damaging the panel.
Backlight bleed vs IPS glow: how to separate them.
Compare backlight bleed, IPS glow, clouding, and normal LCD variation, with a practical dark-room test that avoids misleading camera exposure.
OLED
1 guideMotion
3 guidesMonitor ghosting, motion blur, and overshoot explained.
Learn why moving objects leave different kinds of trails, how overdrive changes ghosting and overshoot, and what a browser motion test can actually show.
Why your high-refresh monitor may still show 60 Hz.
Troubleshoot a 144 Hz, 165 Hz, or 240 Hz monitor reporting 60 Hz by checking operating-system settings, ports, cables, duplicate displays, and browser timing.
Refresh rate vs FPS: two rates, one motion experience.
Understand monitor refresh rate, rendered frames per second, frame pacing, V-Sync, and variable refresh rate without treating Hz and FPS as the same measurement.
Color
2 guidesWhat causes color banding on a monitor?
Learn how source gradients, compression, bit depth, GPU output, HDR processing, display modes, and panel behavior can create visible color or grayscale bands.
sRGB vs Display P3: wider is not automatically more accurate.
Compare sRGB and Display P3, understand color management and oversaturation, and learn what browser gamut tests can reveal without measuring physical coverage.
