Why Uniformity Matters
For Photographers
Uniformity is critical for editing. If your screen has <strong>vignetting</strong> (dark corners), you might over-brighten the edges of your photos, ruining the print. Use this test to verify that your monitor displays brightness evenly across the entire frame.
For Gamers
The <strong>"Dirty Screen Effect" (DSE)</strong> is visible when the camera pans across a uniform color (like a sky or football field). It looks like faint vertical bands or clouds. This test helps you check for DSE and clouding on new gaming monitors within the return window.
Common Uniformity Defects
1. Backlight Bleed
La lumière s'échappe des bords, détruisant les niveaux de noir dans les environnements sombres.
2. Clouding (Mura)
Taches de luminosité inégales causées par un mauvais assemblage ou une mauvaise pression.
3. Color Tinting
Changements de couleur chaud ou froid sur le panneau, rendant l'étalonnage des couleurs impossible.
