Koler is a collection of 20+ full-screen visual tests for your Mac display. Check pixels, backlight, colors, gradients, contrast, burn-in, and more — all in one fast, native app.
Pick a test, go full-screen, and see for yourself.
— WHAT YOU CAN VISUALLY CHECK —
• Pixels — solid color screens make non-working dots easy to spot
• Backlight bleed — dark screens reveal light leaks along the edges
• Screen burn-in — gray shades and checkerboards expose OLED ghosting
• Screen uniformity — solid fills show brightness and color inconsistencies
• Color accuracy — reference photos and gamut comparison (sRGB vs Display P3)
• Gradients — smooth transitions expose banding artifacts
• Contrast — near-black and near-white levels test shadow and highlight detail
• Motion clarity — a moving UFO object reveals ghosting and response time issues
• Gamma — stripe patterns verify correct gamma curve
• Text rendering — font samples at multiple sizes check subpixel smoothing
• PWM flicker — stripe patterns you can photograph to detect flicker
• And more — 20+ visual tests covering every aspect of display quality
— VISUAL TESTS —
Visual Pixel Check:
• Solid Colors — full-screen white, black, red, green, blue, and gray
Visual Motion & Response:
• Response Time UFO — moving object test for ghosting and motion blur
Visual Assessment:
• Photo Assessment — reference landscape photos for color and tone evaluation
• Sunset Gradient — timelapse gradient scenes for color accuracy
• Liquid Glass — macOS 26 glass material rendering reference
Visual Color & Calibration:
• Gradient — smooth horizontal and vertical gradients to reveal banding
• Color Gamut — sRGB vs Display P3 side-by-side comparison
• Gamma — 1px stripe patterns vs solid blocks for gamma verification
Visual Screen Quality:
• Contrast — near-black (1–5%) and near-white (95–99%) blocks
• Backlight Bleed — black and near-black screens for dark room inspection
• Screen Burn-in — gray shades and checkerboard for OLED screens
• Screen Uniformity — solid colors to check brightness and color consistency
• Frontend Contrast — subtle brightness grid for fine contrast evaluation
• PWM Flicker — stripe patterns to photograph with your phone camera
Visual Sharpness & Rendering:
• Sharpness & Geometry — grids, circles, checkerboard, and text samples
• Text Rendering — font smoothing and subpixel rendering at multiple sizes
• Viewing Angles — color and brightness shift from different angles
• Crosshair — centered crosshair with ruler markings and optional grid
Plus detailed Display Information for each connected screen: resolution, refresh rate, color space, HDR status, and more.
