Blooming Test Online for Monitors, Laptops and TVs

Bright shapes on black reveal halo spread from local-dimming zones. Use this free fullscreen display test on an LCD, OLED, laptop, phone or TV. It runs locally in your browser with no download or account.

How to use this Blooming Test and understand the result

Dim the room and inspect the bright object on black from your usual viewing distance. View from your normal seat; extreme angles exaggerate halo changes.

What this online Blooming Test can reveal

A halo that expands or changes with angle is typical of local-dimming behavior; compare it with local dimming disabled when possible.

Limits of this browser test

OLED panels do not bloom in the same way as zone-dimmed LCD panels. Repeat any suspicious result on another input or browser before requesting a return, warranty inspection or calibration.

Display diagnostics

Focused checks for panel uniformity, motion, color and HDR-era display behavior.
