There's only a slim chance that all of these will be perfect; more likely, some will be stuck on (creating a 'bright' defect) or off (resulting in a 'dark' defect). DPT was written to help me check my own screens by cycling through the three primary colours used (red,green,blue) and all on (white) and all off (black). Simply select a colour then closely inspect your monitor in each of the primary colours checking for pixels that are not operating as expected.
