Free ways to diagnose your monitor

You finally did it … popped for a 21 inch high end monitor. But once you got it home and plugged it in, something isn’t right. The screen looks funny. The display is skewed at the side. There are waves in the view, and it’s not a sharp picture. The manual tells you how to adjust your new monitor but it’s confusing, and attempts to adjust your screen only make things worse. Relax, you don’t need to take it back you just need…

Nokia Test is a freeware utility by Nokia that will guide you through testing and adjusting any monitor for an optimum display. There are test patterns for Geometry, Convergence, Resolution, Moiré, Brightness, Contrast, Focus, Readability, Color and Screen Regulation. You put up the test pattern and then make the adjustments to your monitor.There is also an excellent help file that explains all the technical terms and procedures necessary to understand how to correctly set up and adjust your monitor.
Nokia Test runs under all versions of Windows and can be used on any computer display. There is nothing to install. Simply extract the zip file into a directory of your choice and a Nokia Test directory will be created. You can run the program directly from the directory or make a shortcut to Ntest.exe and run it from where ever you wish.
Nokia Test may not be the newest or the most advanced display diagnostic software available but it is easy to use … and you can’t beat the price!

This freeware is called TIREAL TFT TEST. Now tell me whether they looked almost the same? Maybe the source code is lying around somewhere freely for people to download?
