Dead Pixel Test Video
Cycles through five full-screen solid colors so any dead, stuck, or hot pixel stands out clearly against a flat background.
What these files actually are
Deliberately plain: no logos, markers, or text are drawn on top, since anything overlaid could hide or be mistaken for the exact artifact you are looking for.

Frequently asked questions
- What exactly should I look for?
- A pixel that stays a different color than the rest of the screen through all five colors is dead or stuck; one that flickers between colors is stuck but not dead.
- Why is there no on-screen text?
- Any overlay could visually hide a real pixel defect or be confused for one, so each frame is a single flat color.
