FreeTouch Screen Test Online - Ghost Touch, Multi-Touch & Dead Zones
Free online touch screen test for phones, tablets, Chromebooks, and touch laptops. Check multi-touch, dead zones and digitizer bands, edge response, tap precision, measured touch sampling rate (Hz), ghost touches, and display colors - then save a PASS/WARN/FAIL report card as PNG.
Check multi-touch, dead zones and digitizer bands, edge response, tap accuracy, measured sampling rate (Hz), ghost touches, and display colors - then save a verdict report card, all without installing an app.
No touchscreen detected.This tool tests touch input - open this page on your phone or tablet. You can still try the grid with your mouse (limited test).
Use a pressure-sensitive pen and draw a slow straight diagonal, then vary pressure from light to firm. Mouse input is accepted only as a limited fallback.

01How to Test Your Touch Screen
Start with Dead zones mode in fullscreen and sweep corner to corner - the tool will highlight whatever you missed for a confirmation pass.
02What the Results Mean
A healthy screen passes the grid after confirmation, keeps every edge lane responsive, taps within a few pixels of each target, holds the expected number of simultaneous touches, and stays silent during the ghost watch.
03Touch Screen Test FAQ

Open Dead zones mode, enter fullscreen, and drag over every grid cell. Fast swipes are interpolated so cells cannot be skipped. When coverage reaches 92 percent the tool highlights the remaining cells for a confirmation pass - only cells still empty after that second pass are counted as dead.
How do I check my touch screen sampling rate?
Open Sampling rate mode and swipe in continuous circles for about 4 seconds. The tool counts coalesced touch samples per second of active dragging and reports the median in Hz: under 75 is a 60Hz-class panel, 75-150 is 120Hz class, 150-300 is gaming class, and above 300 is flagship class.
What does a dead row or column on a touchscreen mean?
Capacitive digitizers fail by sense line, so a full-width or full-height stripe that never responds is a classic digitizer row or column failure. If the grid shows a dead band while the neighboring lines work, the panel usually needs a screen replacement - software fixes will not help.
Why does my iPhone only show 5 touch points?
iOS Safari caps touch delivery to web pages at 5 simultaneous touches, even though the hardware tracks more. This test expects 5 on iPhone and iPad and never flags it as a failure - it is a browser limit, not a digitizer fault.
Can this test detect ghost touches?
Yes. Start the ghost watch (30 or 60 seconds), remove your hands during the 3-second grace period, and keep them away. Every phantom event is logged with its position and marked in red.
What should I do if this test finds ghost touches or dead zones?
Save the PNG report card, retest with the screen protector and charger removed, and compare the pattern with the detailed KeyboardTester ghost touch and touchscreen dead-zone troubleshooting guide. The report embeds the verdict, stats, and device info so a repair shop can see exactly what failed.
