Backlight bleed inspection
Inspect black and near-black fields for persistent patches of light.
Diagnostic visuals retain their original colors and remain visible. Presentation filters and high contrast apply outside this workspace; device-level filters may still affect your observation.
Dim the room, use a normal viewing angle and comfortable brightness, then inspect edges.

How to run this check
Dim the room, use a normal viewing angle and comfortable brightness, then inspect edges.
Understand the result
PASS describes a received signal or your recorded observation. WARNING calls for another check. USER REVIEW REQUIRED means a measurement alone cannot decide. An unavailable API or denied permission does not establish hardware failure.
What this cannot tell you
Viewing-angle glow and camera exposure can exaggerate leakage. This cannot measure luminance.
If something seems wrong
Compare straight-on and angled views; document persistent patches under normal viewing conditions.

Is anything uploaded?
Raw diagnostic input and media are processed locally. Standalone results remain in page memory. Guided checks offer optional coarse session recovery for 24 hours; it excludes media and detailed measurements. Hosting and Google Analytics requests still leave your browser. Analytics receives only broad test-usage categories, never these diagnostic contents. See the privacy policy.
Does a pass guarantee my hardware is healthy?
No. It records behavior observed in this browser session. Intermittent faults, internal components and operating-system restrictions need further investigation. See our methodology.
