Dead pixel check Β· chroma key backdrop
Green serves two different jobs. For pixel testing you want pure green (#00FF00) so that any failed green subpixel stands out. For chroma key work the colour is different: broadcast green sits closer to #00B140, chosen because it is the furthest common colour from human skin tones, which makes the background easy to key out. A monitor is far too small to key a person against, but it works for small props and objects.
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.
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.
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.
