lcd panel test patterns in stock

This selection contains several patterns that enable you to check your monitor’s calibration. The gamma patterns (left and middle) must be viewed on a monitor; they do not work in printed media. Reset pattern restores the default values, H = 0, S = 0, L = 1, and Gamma = 2.2.

This chart enables (shown below) you to set the black level (brightness) and estimate display gamma over a range of 1.2 to 2.8 with accuracy close to ±0.05. The gamma pattern is on the left; the black level pattern is on the right. Before using the chart, CRT monitors should be turned for on for at least 15 minutes. For flat screen (LCD) monitors, Screen resolution should be set to the monitor’s native resolution (right-click on the wallpaper, Properties, Settings).

Your monitor’s gamma should be set for 2.2 (for Windows systems).Gamma = 2.2 for the Internet-standard sRGB color space and the popular Adobe RGB (1998) color space. 1.8 was the standard for older Macintosh systems and prepress file interchange (Mac users, see Ian Lyons’ Mac Calibration page.). Many laptop LCD screens cannot be accurately calibrated because gamma is extremely sensitive to viewing angle (though my 2018 Asus Zenbook is better than I expected).You can adjust gamma using Quickgamma (a great free program) or a hardware calibrator (details here).

The image on the right shows the middle gamma pattern enlarged 4x. The upper part of this image, to the right of Standard, uses the same black-to-white sinusoidal variation as the Gamma and black level chart. The color patterns appear when the Alt pattern colors (T & B) box, located just to the right of the Gamma slider, is checked

When this image is displayed normal size (not enlarged; below) on a good quality monitor, the R-C, G-M, B-Y, and Standard patterns appear nearly identical.

Right: HSL rainbow patterns. These patterns are used for a rough visual estimate of the monitor’s color performance. They should appear well-saturated and have smooth color and tonal gradations (no abrupt changes). Laptops typically look very different from well-calibrated LCD or CRT monitors.

A number of Digital View LCD controller models offer the option of built-in test patterns such as full screen solid colors or a checkerboard pattern. The following table provides a summary.

As shown in the table there are a number of ways to invoke the test pattern, via the normal on screen menu, via hotkey on the menu buttons, as a default if there is no input signal. In addition the test pattern can be called up using an RS-232 command.

Have you ever properly checked the display quality of the LCD you habitually use? Very often people become aware of previously unnoticed problems in display quality when they run a check using test patterns and so on. This time we are going to talk about the basic points used to assess LCD display quality, and show you a simple way to test it.

Below is the translation from the Japanese of the ITmedia article "The difference in image quality is perfectly obvious! – Let"s check the LCD"s monitor" published April 22, 2010. Copyright 2011 ITmedia Inc. All Rights Reserved.

First of all, bear with us in the following simple test. Below is image data of a row of three squares. In the center of each square is a letter so faint as to be barely distinguishable, so there are three letters in all. Read from the left they make up a word. Can you see that hidden word?

That"s right. The answer is "LCD" (it is displayed if you drag the space between the brackets). We assume that probably many users could read the letters concealed in the squares.

So, the next test is much more difficult. A word is concealed in the four squares below, just as in the image above. The letters are written in colors that are very similar to those of the boxes and we expect that, in many cases, it is hard to distinguish them in your browser. We would like you to download the image and check it closely in photo retouching software or a viewer that is capable of accurate color reproduction.

This time the answer is "EIZO" (it is displayed if you drag the space between the brackets). Depending on the lighting or the user"s environment it may be hard to make out but, if you can read these four letters, the display quality, or more accurately the still image gradation expression, of your LCD is extremely high.

Let"s get down to details then. "Image quality" is the top priority of the LCD, of course. However, recently LCD prices are fiercely competitive and there are surprisingly few products that insist on high image quality and performance. It may be nice to be able to get hold of a wide-screen monitor with full HD (1920 × 1080 dot) resolution or higher fairly cheaply, but it cannot be denied that such LCDs tend not to place too much importance on display quality.

On the other hand, the increasing opportunities to enjoy things like HD videos and games, and high resolution digital photographs on the computer make LCD display quality even more important. As far as possible it"s best to use an LCD with excellent display quality in order to fully enjoy the charms of the visual content.

Even so, perhaps you think that there can"t really be that much wrong with the LCDs that so many people are using at the moment. Here we would like to show you a simple method to check LCD display quality. You can get a good idea of whether the basic display quality is good or bad just by looking at how some simple test images are displayed, just like in the introductory quiz. First of all, we would like you to get a sense of how important it is that "image data can be properly displayed" by checking the display of the LCD that you currently use, (that"s right, the one you are using to view this page!).

The test items use color / monochrome patterned images to check gradation expression, and simple images to check brightness / chromaticity variation. Downloads are available of several test images, such as gradation patterns. We would like you to display the downloaded test images in photo retouching software or a viewer that can reproduce color accurately. As we mentioned at the start of this article, you have to be careful as in many cases colors cannot be displayed accurately in web browsers. (Currently only a few browsers such as Safari and Firefox 3.x can handle color management).

Before starting your visual check of the display quality, please return to your LCD"s setting to default, and select Adobe RGB or sRGB as the image quality mode. If these modes are not available it is fine to set the color temperature to 6500K and gamma to 2.2. If you cannot adjust the color temperature and gamma, simply adjust the brightness and contrast so that they are easier to discern. Of course, if it"s an LCD environment that has been color calibrated it"s OK to leave it as it is.

The average LCD takes some time for the monitor to stabilize after it is switched on so, after start up, please wait at least 30 minutes or so before doing the test. (Most EIZO monitors are an exception to this as they are equipped with our proprietary dimming function and the monitor stabilizes in a short time after start up.)

The surface treatment of an LCD makes a difference to the background reflection. Glare panels impede the surface diffusion of backlight, which does make it easier to achieve high color purity, but also makes distinct reflections of the user or lighting much more likely (photo on the left).

If the lights are similarly trained on a non-glare panel they do not have much effect on the display, only appearing as a fuzzy brightness (photo on the right).

For your reference, we ran a test on an EIZO 24.1-inch wide-screen LCD, the FlexScan SX2462W, for this article. The FlexScan SX series comes with a number of high image quality functions and boasts top class display quality as a general-purpose LCD intended for a computer.

When checking the display quality of an LCD it is comparatively easy to understand the gradation expression capability by a visual check. Let"s display color and monochrome gradation images and check whether the entire image is smoothly reproduced. If there is a problem with the gradation expression it produces things like blocked-up shadows in dark areas and blown-out highlights in light areas, banding (vertical or horizontal stripes) in the middle gradations, and color cast, so you should check for problems like these.

Test images of color / monochrome gradations are shown below. Each test image is prepared for three resolution levels (1280 × 800 dots / 1680 × 1050 dots / 1920 × 1200 dots). When you click on an image it is displayed in that actual resolution. We would like you to download the images in the resolution which matches that of your current LCD. Gradation expression can vary according to whether the image is viewed horizontally or vertically, so it will be more effective if you rotate these images and view them vertically as well.

A gradation pattern where the colors red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow go through 16 gradients as they change to white or black. This is an easy test image so we expect that it can be seen in most environments that each color bar is divided into 16 blocks.

A gradation pattern where the colors red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow go through 64 gradients as they change to white or black. Each color bar is divided into 64 rectangular blocks. With this many gradients we expect that many LCDs will find it hard to make distinctions in the dark areas or the areas that are close to primary colors.

A smooth gradation pattern where the colors red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow go through 256 gradients as they change to white or black. At this level of difficulty you cannot distinguish between adjoining colors from a distance but, if you have an LCD with excellent gradation expression, if you look closely you should be able to see that each color is divided into thin rectangular blocks.

A gradation pattern that changes from black to white. It is divided into 5 horizontal bars: from the top, smooth, 128 gradients, 64 gradients, 32 gradients and 16 gradients. Even if all the differences can be distinguished in the 16 and 32 gradient patterns near the bottom, we expect that there will be some parts in the 64 and 128 gradient patterns where it is hard to see the boundaries between adjoining colors. With this kind of monochrome test image you should also check whether any unnecessary colors are mixed with the gray.

On an average LCD gradations of gray that are close to black tend to appear as blocked-up shadows (gradations of gray that are close to white are displayed comparatively accurately). If your LCD"s OSD menu allows you to adjust the contrast, please try gradually turning down the contrast. Turning down the contrast often makes it possible to see gradations that had been subject to blocked-up shadows or blown-out highlights.

Probably most LCDs will be able to detect some degree of banding and color cast in the middle gradations. Banding in the middle gradations is tone jump (Missing gradations) and, along with color cast, means that the RGB gamma curves are unequal. Unlike blocked-up shadows or blown-out highlights, this is an area that it is hard to improve with adjustments made by the user.

When we looked at these test images on the FlexScan SX2462W, in the smooth gradation there was blocked-up shadows right next to the black but we could distinguish differences in gradations of gray until very close to the black area. When it comes to such subtle gradation distinctions the brightness of the room and the adaptability of the eye come into play, so the range that is visible will vary according to the environment and the individual. The gradation expression was excellent, with almost no blown-out highlights in light areas, middle gradation banding or color cast.

The answer is "The far right" (it is displayed if you drag the space between the brackets). If the other grays looked correct, color may not be being correctly recognized for a variety of reasons, such as the lighting environment or the LCD settings.

The two image patterns below are easy to understand examples of optical illusions. When you look at them you should be able to understand how heavily the human eye is influenced by surrounding colors.

Now let"s assess the gradation expression with some slightly different test images. Below are color patterns with a spread of pale colors in gradations close to the dark range and the light range. They are arranged so that a distinction cannot be made between adjoining colors on an LCD with insufficient gradation expression.

We expect that you could roughly get the whole picture in the gradation patterns on the previous page, but in the patterns this time some parts that cannot be seen may have appeared in some cases. As we mentioned earlier, LCDs tend to display gradations close to black as a blocked-up shadows, and color patterns that are close to black are particularly hard to distinguish.

Since there are some parts that cannot be seen, the possibility arises subtle skin colors and tones cannot be accurately recognized when doing things like retouching photographs, though the misrecognition will vary according to the user"s eyesight. People who place importance on color reproduction should probably bear this in mind when they think about replacing their LCD or buying an extra one.

Incidentally, when we checked the FlexScan SX2462W with these tests we could distinguish everything in both the close to white and the close to black patterns. As well as no blown-out highlights or blocked-up shadows, we saw no unnatural color casts.

This shows the color patterns displayed on the FlexScan SX2462W. It was taken with a digital camera so some parts look a little patchy but they were accurately displayed when we did a visual check.

Every LCD has some degree of brightness and chromaticity variation, but there are many products where the variations become more obvious when the brightness is lowered. A comparison of the brightness and chromaticity variation of a number of LCDs reveals that there is a fairly large difference between products, so this is a point to bear in mind.

If you actually try this test you may be surprised to find more variation than you expected when gray or a near-white pale color is displayed. Generally speaking, the center of an LCD screen is the brightest and it gradually gets darker towards the edges. This is no problem if there is not a big difference in brightness between the central and peripheral areas, but there are some products where this difference is very striking.

Incidentally, this test is also an effective way to test the LCD for dot defects (normal lighting / unlit room). We would like you to check the black display in a darkened environment, for example by switching off all the room lights at night. Although you probably saw the whole screen as uniformly black in a light environment, very often in a dark environment you can find variations in some parts due to light leaks.

The FlexScan SX2462W got good results again when we tried it with the brightness and chromaticity variation tests. The brightness decreased slightly at the edges of the screen, particularly the lower edge, but overall the display was even and pleasing. It is installed with a "digital uniformity equalizer" that measures brightness and chromaticity throughout the screen and makes corrections so that the entire screen is uniform.

Monochrome full-screen displays on a FlexScan SX2462W. Only the screen display is shown. The bottom right is a near-white pale orange. There are not many LCDs that can display this kind of pale color as uniformly as this

However, the pitfall here is that it simply means that "the screen is visible". The thing is that the viewing angle specifications are permitted to use the term "visible" until the display contrast ratio drops to an extremely low 10:1 or 5:1 when the screen is viewed from an angle (the steeper the angle from which the LCD screen is viewed, the more the contrast generally declines). In other words, they do not take into account the display uniformity of the central and peripheral areas of the screen, or the level of chromatic change, when the screen is viewed from an angle.

The ideal viewing angles is that the brightness and chromaticity is very uniform and there is not much chromatic change, even when the screen is viewed from a slight angle. The viewing angles given in the specifications are not really very helpful, but you can judge the standard of the panel type that the LCD (liquid crystal panel) adopts. IPS liquid crystal panels have the least change in brightness or chromaticity when the screen is viewed from an angle, and they are followed by VA panels. An IPS or VA liquid crystal panel can be said to indicate the superior nature of the product itself, so this is often included in the catalog or specifications. It is probably a good idea to look through the catalogs of various products.

On the other hand, monitors installed with cost-effective TN liquid crystal panels are in fact the most numerous. However, the TN type lags far behind the IPS and VA types in terms of characteristic viewing angle changes in brightness and chromaticity. Simply viewing the screen from a slightly different angle makes the coloration change dramatically, and the screen looks completely different according to whether it is viewed vertically or horizontally. If the vertical and horizontal viewing angles in the specifications are different then it is a TN type. There are quite a few products with a 20-inch wide screen or larger where colors look different in the central and peripheral areas even when the screen is viewed straight on.

The display on a VA panel. Compared with the IPS panel the screen is a little whitish and the chromaticity has slipped, but it is a satisfactory viewing angle for actual use

The display on a TN panel. There is a very clear difference from the IPS and VA panels. The display throughout the entire screen lacks uniformity and there is a yellow cast

The gradation images and monochrome images from earlier in this article can be used as they are to check the viewing angles. Display an image on the whole screen, look at it straight on and check whether the brightness and colors are uniform at the top and bottom of the screen, and in the center and at both sides. Then gradually shift the angle from which you view the screen and check how the brightness and coloration change. If you do this with photographic data as well as the test images, you should be able to get a better sense of the difference in the display.

When we checked the viewing angles of the FlexScan SX2462W there was absolutely nothing to criticize since, in addition to the use of an IPS panel, it is equipped with many high image quality functions, including the afore-mentioned digital uniformity correction circuit. The brightness and chromaticity throughout the whole screen is very uniform, and the coloration hardly changed at all when the viewing angle was changed.

We explained here about easy ways to check LCD monitor quality. How were the results for your current LCD? We think that many people were probably very bothered by the blocked-up shadows and blown-out highlights when the test images to check gradation were displayed, by the middle gradation banding, and by the variations in brightness and chromaticity when the monochrome images were displayed.

As we mentioned at the beginning, recently the number of LCDs with excellent display quality is on the decline. Although we would not go so far as to say that the display quality of inexpensive products is poor. Of course a high quality LCD is indispensable if you want to enjoy using your computer, properly handle the needs of applications that require color reproducibility, and to fully enjoy all the benefits of rich content.

The EIZO FlexScan LCD series has excellent display quality in those regards, and we have no qualms about recommending them to everyone. The product line-up is diverse but each model is clearly ranked according to the purpose to which it is suited and its screen size, and they all guarantee above-standard display quality. They may cost a little more than you had budgeted for but the clear value they offer exceeds their price.

If, after trying these tests, you have doubts about the display quality of the LCD that you usually use, we would certainly urge you to consider an EIZO LCD. We would also recommend that you construct a multi-display environment by making the new LCD your main monitor and the one that you have been using your sub monitor.

This report examines the gamma relationship between a display’s pixel input values and its luminance output values. We examine how a display’s gamma is specified and how it is normally measured. We see how a display’s gamma measurement and/or adjustment is complicated by dynamic luminance changes that are based on average picture level. We also examine the latest standard for measuring the gamma performance of these displays with dynamic luminance levels.

We then present a type of test pattern that maintains a constant APL, despite changes to its measurement stimulus level. We present an innovative method of maintaining constant APL at any desired window size or APL, as well as constant chromatic, to maintain accurate gamma measurements not only for grayscale levels, but for all colors.

Many display technologies dynamically adjust the luminance levels of the display, depending upon the average picture level (APL) of the currently displayed image. These displays include plasma panels with ABL, LCDs and PDPs with global and local dimming, and projectors with auto iris.

To measure a display’s gamma, we typically display ten or more test patterns, with the stimulus levels (pixel values) of the individual patterns distributed across the grayscale range of interest. We measure the luminance that the display produces with each test pattern and chart the results, to produce a visual representation of the display’s gamma performance (Figure 2).

For this type of display, the luminance of a full white area of the image dynamically changes as the average pixel level of the entire image changes (Figure 4). These displays, that dynamically change their luminance as the average pixel level changes, include all plasma display panels (PDPs), LCDs with global or local dimming enabled, and projectors with auto iris enabled.

Because plasma display panels generate significant heat and a high power supply load when producing high luminance across a significant area of a scene, all plasma displays include an Automatic Brightness Limiter (ABL) to protect their power supplies, to reduce phosphor aging, and to limit their energy consumption.

During a scene with a high proportion of bright elements, the ABL circuit limits the panel’s luminance (dims the entire picture) to limit power consumption. During a scene with a lower proportion of bright pixels there is less limiting effect. Depending upon the proportion of bright pixels in the entire image, this changes the amount of light a plasma panel produces at any particular pixel drive level (Figure 5).

Global or local dimming in LCDs and PDPs, and auto iris in projectors also have the effect of dynamically changing the luminance produced at a particular pixel drive level, depending upon the proportion of bright pixels in the rest of the image. This has the effect of dynamically changing the gamma performance of a display, depending upon picture content. So, what is an appropriate method to measure or adjust the gamma performance for a display that dynamically changes its luminance with picture content changes?

Both full field and window (partial field) test patterns have been used to test display gamma. The APL of both full field and window test patterns changes, though, as the measurement stimulus level changes.

A full-field test pattern produces 100% APL at 100% stimulus, with proportionally lower APLs at lower stimulus levels. The APL varies from 100% to 0%.

This extreme APL change is okay when testing LCD panels with dimming disabled or projectors with auto iris disabled, but is not appropriate for testing displays that dynamically change their luminance levels, depending upon the APL of the currently displayed image.

Window patterns with a black background have been in use for a long time for display measurements. These patterns minimize the APL change when switching between different stimulus levels, as compared to full field test patterns.

You can see that smaller size window patterns, with a black background, result in a smaller APL change as the measurement stimulus level is varied from maximum to minimum. But, any window pattern with a constant background level is not a constant APL test pattern.

Window test patterns have long been thought to be appropriate for measuring displays with dynamically changing luminance levels. However, a window pattern with any constant background level still has a changing APL as the measurement stimulus level changes. This still results in dynamically changing measurement conditions.

The International Committee for Display Metrology (ICDM), part of the Society for Information Display (SID) Definitions and Standards Committee, was charged with updating the Flat Panel Display Measurements Standard that had been used extensively by the industry since its publication by VESA in 2001. The ICDM published its Information Display Measurement Standard (IDMS) in May of 2012, with recommended procedures to quantify electronic display characteristics.

To measure the gamma of display technologies that dynamically adjust luminance based on image content, the IDMS standard specifies test patterns that maintain a fixed average pixel level (APL) (page 86). One IDMS implementation of fixed APL is a test pattern with a center stimulus window and a background that changes pixel level to counterbalance the luminance changes in the center window (Figure 10).

When you are measuring a display that dynamically adjusts its luminance based on image content, you don’t get meaningful gamma measurements with test patterns that each have a different APL. Each test pattern, each with a different APL, causes the display to exhibit a different dynamic luminance characteristic.

A constant APL test pattern maintains the same APL across the measurement stimulus range. As the stimulus level in the center window changes, the background level changes to compensate, keeping the total light output constant.

The center window for the four constant APL test patterns is at the currently selected stimulus level, ranging from 100% white to 0% black. The window size is approximately 5% of the area of the total image frame.

CalMAN also provides a Constant APL test pattern that can be user-defined. The user can select the Pattern Size, to select the size of the center stimulus window, and the Pattern APL, to set the APL of the overall pattern.

As well as maintaining a constant average pixel level for the Constant APL test patterns, CalMAN also maintains the test patterns as constant chromatic.

If you are unable to totally disable either dimming or auto iris, use a constant APL test pattern to minimize their effects on any display measurements.

For plasma panels, to constrain the effect of ABL to the average picture level of the expected content, use constant APL test patterns. We want to measure or adjust gamma in the picture condition that is most prevalent.

You don’t want a different APL for each different test pattern. That would mean that both the stimulus level and the APL are changing during the gamma measurement. We want to test gamma at one or more fixed APLs. Each gamma test will involve only one variable, the stimulus level.

If you want to test multiple variables (i.e. stimulus and APL), test only one variable at a time. Use a constant APL pattern (e.g. 50 APL) to test a display’s gamma at that APL across the stimulus range. Then, switch to another constant APL pattern (e.g. 25 APL) to test the display’s gamma at that APL.

Many display technologies produce different luminance at black, gray, and/or peak white levels, depending upon the average picture level (APL) of the image. These display types include plasma and LCD panels with global or local dimming, plasma panels with ABL, and projectors with auto iris.

A display’s gamma performance, which is critical to accurate image rendering, is determined by measuring test patterns at various stimulus levels. If the test patterns also change average picture level as they change stimulus levels, many displays produce a different luminance, not only in response to the changed stimulus level, but also due to the changed

Because a frame of picture content is always at a single APL and because most picture content averages out to an APL within a moderate range, we normally want to test at one, or possibly two different, APLs to accurately characterize a display’s gamma performance.

A constant APL test pattern allows us to stabilize the ABL effect in plasma panels, stabilize any dimming or auto iris action that can’t be disabled, and test at an APL that is representative of average program content. This allows a gamma test to measure only the effects of stimulus (picture) level changes.

CalMAN constant APL test patterns are available at a number of fixed APLs and at user-defined APLs. The CalMAN test patterns are also constant chromatic, minimizing any display changes due to any effect other than the desired stimulus level change. This enables the most accurate gamma measurements and adjustments that are possible, on any display type.

The EIZO monitor test lets you quickly and easily assess your monitor’s image quality. You can carry out 13 individual tests to check how uniform the image display is across the entire monitor, for example, or if the text is displayed sharply. You can check your monitor for defective pixels and get a sense of its viewing angle stability. Put your monitor to the test now!

The EIZO monitor test consists of various test scenarios that your monitor can handle to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the model. For example, gaming monitors are distinguished by particularly short response times, whereas graphic monitors impress with a particularly homogenous image display and smooth gradients. You should therefore always assess your monitor within the context of its respective device category. For this reason, please note the manufacturer specifications (especially for the defective pixel test). It is recommended that you carry out the monitor test in a dark room. This allows you to precisely assess even dark image areas.

In order to ensure meaningful test results, your monitor should already be warmed up prior to testing (ideally for 30 minutes). You should also clean the display prior to testing, since reflected light could cause dust particles to look like defective pixels.

She moved to Hollywood the same year to appear with him in the production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and was given a contract by RKO Pictures.

I have designed (circa "99) integrated micro KOPIN LCD displays to display VGA and VCR signals, yet I have no experience with your monitor, but I recognize the blooming effects.

But since you have not even a ghost of any test patterns , it may be a simple problem. Perhaps you can verify the analog signals to be valid then the clocks for pixel clock , V sync, H sync pulses are valid etc or the chip is biased wrong.

If the issue persists on the external monitor, it may be an issue with the video card (GPU) or video settings and not the laptop LCD panel. Go to verify display or video issues in Windows Safe Mode. Otherwise, go to the next step.

Performance issues may occur if there is any damage to the LCD screen. The display may stop working, work intermittently, flicker, display horizontal or vertical lines, and so on, if there is damage to the display screen.

Dell laptops have integrated diagnostic tools that can determine if the screen abnormality is an inherent problem with the LCD screen of the Dell laptop or with the video card (GPU) and computer settings.

When you notice screen abnormalities like flickering, distortion, clarity issues, fuzzy or blurry images, horizontal or vertical lines, color fade, running a diagnostic test on the LCD helps identify if the issue is with the LCD panel.

Press and hold the D key and turn on the computer to enter the LCD built-in self-test (BIST) mode. Continue to hold the D key until you see the entire screen change colors.

If you do not detect any screen abnormalities in the integrated self-test mode, the LCD panel of the laptop is functioning properly. Go to the Update the video card (GPU) driver, monitor driver, and BIOS section.

If you notice any abnormalities in the LCD built-in self-test mode, contact Dell Technical Support to learn more about repair options that are available in your region.

Display settings like brightness, refresh rate, resolution, and power management may affect the performance of the LCD screen on your Dell laptop. Changing or adjusting the display settings can help resolve several types of video issues.

Stress Test can thoroughly diagnose the video card (GPU) on your computer and report any potential hardware problem. Running a stress test on your computer can verify if the hardware components are stable and thus reliable.

If the diagnostic tests on the LCD panel and the video card (GPU) passed, it is most definitely an issue that is related to software that is installed on the computer. If the above troubleshooting steps did not resolve the issue, you may try to restore the computer to factory default settings as a last resort.
