White Screen for testing and lighting
A pure white screen gives you an even, bright surface without desktop clutter. It works as a soft screen light for video calls and product photos, a tracing surface for drawings, and a clean reference for checking dust, tint and white uniformity.
- Use your display as a simple light source for video calls, makeup or product photos.
- Place paper over a laptop or tablet to trace drawings and animation frames.
- Inspect dust, dirty spots and uneven white levels across the panel.
Fullscreen tips
Open fullscreen before inspecting the display. Lower room light and clean the panel first so dust, tint and pixel defects are easier to see.
