White Level Test
Count visible patches 223-254 on white background. All visible = healthy. Missing high = clipped highlights.
Look for the gray patches on the white background. You should see all patches labeled 223 through 254. If high values (250-254) blend into white, your monitor is clipping highlights - reduce contrast or check the OSD.
