Hello Everyone,

As the subject states, I am looking at purchasing a monitor from a 3rd party person (Craigslist). We are meeting at a coffee shop with chairs, power outlets, etc. I plan on bringing my laptop (MacBook Pro), and was wondering what software / apps / websites I can use to determine if the monitor is working properly?

For example, a check that comes to mind is to see if there are any dead-pixels on the screen. As well as any backlight bleeding, etc. Is there a good recommended app out there that can help me test a monitor and see if it is working properly or not?

Thanks in advance for everyone's time and help, it is greatly appreciated!
