How to use this test
What to look for
Repeat after changing one display setting. The graphics pipeline and browser color processing can also affect banding.
Patterns provide visual references for your own inspection. Refresh estimates come from animation callbacks, not direct panel telemetry. Lighting, display processing, viewing angle, and browser behavior affect results.
