Product Description:

PiXel Check is a utility that allows you to easily turn on all or specific pixels on your LCD display, allowing you to check for bad or dead LCD pixels. Click the mouse button or press any key to dismiss a test or jump to the next color in the "Automatic" mode. To the best of my knowledge, this is the FIRST and ONLY LCD pixel checking utility for OS X. Why do I say this? Well, I couldn't find any, so I wrote PiXel Check! :) For those who care, it was written in Objective-C using Cocoa.

What's new in this version:

  • This version of PiXel Check is dedicated to the seven brave men and women of the Space Shuttle Columbia who lost their lives on February 1, 2003.
  • Multiple monitor support! There are no options to select, it just magically detects your extra display(s).
  • Help (English) is now available from within the application.
  • Added Italian localization, thanks to Max Rotunno.
  • Cleaned up more code and corrected a description faux pas relating to Black and White test modes.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.2
  • Mac OS X 10.1

Additional Requirements:

PiXel Check ReviewHelped me find immediately out of box a dead pixel... - Version: 1.2, 1/14/2008 04:20AM PST

Just got hold of a 2707 WFP and guess what, out of box (about where the "o" in the word box is on my screen right now) is a dead pixel, well actually stuck on RED. Time to make a call, and send it back. Sad, but 1100 and out of box a dead pixel. This app helps out a LOT, and is super simple to use.

PiXel Check ReviewNice tool, does one thing, does it perfectly - Version: 1.2, 2/2/2007 08:26PM PST

I wanted to test out my new Dell 2407WFP display. Worked flawlessly on 10.4.8/Intel. I had to go to the developer's site to get the file as VT's download link brought down a corrupt file. No bad pixels BTW.

PiXel Check Troubleshooting ReportFile not unix-executable - Version: 1.2, 12/8/2005 01:46PM PST

The program will not open when I double click it. I found out why. The supposedly executable unix file "/PUTPARENTDIRECTORYHERE/PiXel Check V1.2/PiXel Check V1.2.app/Contents/MacOS/PiXel Check" does not have the correct permissions set. I used Terminal and issued the command "chmod 755 'PiXel Check'" after reaching the appropriate directory. After that, all was fine. Developer: fix the problem, please. Using 10.4.3 (Tiger) on a 2003 Powerbook G4.
