THE SCREENDROP CHECK
Every unit goes through these checks before it is graded, priced and listed.
PANEL AND BACKLIGHT
Full-screen white, black, red, green, blue. Look for dead pixels, marks, uneven backlight.
HDMI INPUT
Boot a source on each HDMI port. Confirm picture and native resolution.
DISPLAYPORT INPUT
Same as HDMI. N/A if the unit has no DisplayPort.
REMAINING INPUTS
VGA, DVI, USB-C, USB hub, audio out. Test each one that exists.
BUTTONS AND MENU
Every button or joystick direction. Open the OSD, change a setting, confirm it sticks.
STAND AND HINGE
Tilt, height, swivel, pivot where fitted. Check it holds position and does not wobble.
POWER AND STABILITY
Cold start from unplugged, then 30 minutes on. Listen for coil whine, check for flicker.
COSMETIC CONDITION
Bezel, chassis, rear, cable entry. Photograph every mark you can see from 50cm.
THE FIT CHECK

Office and admin
EXCELLENTRoom for a document and a browser at readable size.
Spreadsheets and finance
EXCELLENT4K shows a very wide sheet with text still sharp.
Coding and development
EXCELLENTHigh pixel density keeps small text crisp for long sessions.
Design and photo work
EXCELLENTIPS colour with a dense panel — detail holds at 100%.
Video editing
EXCELLENT4K means a 1080p timeline preview at full size, with room to spare.
Films and streaming
EXCELLENT4K streams play at native resolution.
Study and research
EXCELLENTNotes and source material open side by side.
Laptop docking
EXCELLENTUSB-C: picture and laptop charging over one cable.
Casual gaming
GOOD60Hz is fine for story and strategy games.
Competitive gaming
NOT IDEALUnder 100Hz — buy a high-refresh screen if ranked FPS is the point.
