FAQ
How do I display gray screen full screen?
Press the full screen button above and the whole display fills with the colour. Press ESC or click anywhere to come back.
The screen keeps dimming when I use it as a light.
Turn on keep screen awake. It uses the browser's Screen Wake Lock API and works in recent versions of Chrome, Edge and Safari. If your browser does not support it the option is hidden, so raise your device's sleep timeout instead.
It is too bright. Can I dim it?
Use the brightness slider. For lighting, 30 to 60 per cent usually looks best because it adds colour without blowing out skin. For pixel testing leave it at 100 per cent, otherwise you are judging an adjusted colour rather than the panel.
What can I do with the saved PNG?
Set it as a wallpaper, drop it into a video editor as a background clip, or print it as a colour reference. You can enter any resolution you like and the file is generated on your device.
The colour looks different from other screens.
Panels vary in gamut and calibration, so the same value renders differently. Night mode and blue light filters shift everything warmer, so turn them off if you need the colour to be accurate.

Gray Screen

A mid-grey field exposes problems that neither white nor black will show. Panel uniformity issues β€” patches that read brighter or darker than their surroundings, known as mura β€” become visible against flat grey. In photography, middle grey is the reference point for exposure and white balance, so a grey screen can stand in for a grey card when nothing else is to hand.

Using a screen as a light

Using a display as a light source is the standard workaround when there is no ring light to hand. A laptop or monitor already sits directly in front of you, so the angle is natural, and the large emitting area gives soft shadows. Full brightness usually blows out skin detail, so drop it to 30-60 per cent and use the colour temperature slider to set the tone. Turn on keep screen awake so the display does not sleep part way through.

Using it to test a panel

For testing, leave brightness at 100 per cent and colour temperature neutral β€” otherwise you are inspecting an adjusted colour rather than the panel itself. Turn off night mode and blue light filters too. To check thoroughly, cycle through red, green, blue, white and black; the dead pixel test page does that automatically.

Saving a PNG

The export here builds the image in your browser rather than downloading a pre-made file from a server. A canvas is filled with the current colour and saved, which means any resolution works and whatever brightness and colour temperature you set is baked into the file.
