1. Black Level (Shadow Detail)
You should be able to read all numbers from 1 to 10. If the first few boxes blend completely into the pure black background, your monitor's contrast is too high or brightness is too low (crushed blacks).

2. White Saturation (Highlight Detail)
You should be able to read all numbers from 245 to 254. If the last few boxes blend into the pure white background, your monitor's contrast is set too high (blown-out highlights).

3. Gamma Calibration (2.2)
Step back a few feet from your monitor or blur your eyes. The solid gray box in the center should perfectly blend into the striped background. If the box looks much darker or lighter than the background, your Gamma setting is incorrect.
2.2
4. Sharpness & Pixel Mapping
This is a 1-pixel checkerboard pattern. It should look like an even, flat gray box. If you see shimmering, wave-like interference patterns, or halos, your monitor's "Sharpness" setting is turned up too high. Lower it until the box looks flat.
5. Grayscale Banding Test
This gradient should transition perfectly smoothly from pure black to pure white. If you see harsh vertical lines, steps, or non-gray colors (like green/magenta tints), your monitor has color banding issues or low bit-depth.
6. RGB Color Clipping
These pure Red, Green, and Blue gradients should be completely smooth. If the colors suddenly become a solid block on the right side, your monitor's color saturation is pushed too high.
