    Passmark Monitor test

    Hello folks
    Has anyone tried Passmark monitor test and what do you think of it. will like to know your opinion.

    What I am looking for is a stress test software to make shure my monitor repairs stay repaired.
    What I am doing now is I run the monitor for 5 or 6 hours if it runs fine then it's good

    The monitor test software doesn't "stress" the modern monitors at all.

    It just shows various patterns on screen which were used to check various parameters of CRT monitors in the past, such as convergence for example.

    Nowadays with LCD monitors, a lot of those patterns no longer apply, because LCD monitors have fixed pixels, there's no electron tube to calibrate. MAYBE if you connect the LCD monitor to the computer using a VGA cable, then the test patterns may change at different resolutions due to the interference from outside the cable. VGA is analogue - if you use a digital cable (dvi, hdmi) there should be no difference in what you see on screen no matter what you send to the monitor.

    The only way I would think you would stress a monitor would be to raise the brightness and contrast to the max and maybe heat up the back side of the monitor a bit.

    By raising the brightness you force the cfl inverter to run to the maximum and the lamps to draw power, so the power supply will warm up.

      for checking color and stuff, but not for stesss test, as mariushm said, it does not stess the LCD type monitor at all, not like CRT type monitor.
