Review by:
4.0/5

Some LCD displays present dead pixels which, depending on the manufacturer policy regarding faulty pixels, can be a reason to ask for a replacement.

Pixel Tester is a simple Mac app that allows you to quickly test all connected displays, in order to identify pixels that do not work properly.

The Pixel Tester application comes with a streamlined workflow that makes the testing process extremely easy. Start by selecting the display you want to test, and then move your cursor around to change the pattern displayed on the screen.

Depending on the display area in which you place the mouse, Pixel Tester shows different colors and patterns: pure red / blue / green when the pointer is in the bottom screen area, and pure white for the top of the screen.

To make sure you are able to identify all dead pixels, Pixel Tester comes packed with a collection of  patterns designed to make them visible.

Moreover, you have the opportunity to test various displays with minimal effort: the app recognizes all connected devices and allows you to choose the one on which you want to perform the test.

Pixel Tester offers you the possibility to quickly identify dead pixels present on your screen with minimal effort: all you have to do is launch the application and move the mouse pointer to quickly switch between various patterns designed to cover your entire screen. Since the patterns have a special design, you will instantly be able to quickly see if there are any issues.

What's new in Pixel Tester 8.1:

  • A full recompilation has been made to be compatible with High Sierra, and as Universal Binary to keep being compatible with both old (PowerPC) Macs and recent (Intel) Macs.
  • The "How to intall it?" paragraph of the documentation has been updated to explain how to install and launch the Application in particular under Mac OS 10.13 High Sierra:
  • Under Mac OS 10.13 High Sierra, if you're launching the Application for the first time, Mac OS' GateKeeper (which you can configure in the "System Preferences") will refuse to launch it because you've not downloaded it from the Mac App Store (but from our website). In this case, instead of double-clicking on it, all you have to do is to right-click on the Application's icon, and then select the "Open" menu. A message will appear in which you'll be able to confirm that you want to launch the Application (even if it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store from an Identified Developer).
