What a red screen is useful for
A red screen is helpful when testing the red channel on a monitor, phone or tablet. If a pixel does not respond on red but appears on other colors, it may point to a subpixel issue.
Red also works as a bold background or low-detail color fill when you need a simple full-screen color fast.
How to use it
Open fullscreen, lower brightness if the room is dark, and scan the display from edge to edge. Use the dead pixel test if you want to compare red with white, black, green and blue.
