- Three more tools, bringing the total to fourteen: A Streaming Data Calculator, an OLED Burn-in Test and a TV Motion Test.
- The Streaming Data Calculator works out how much data Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ and Prime use per hour, per day and per month, from standard definition up to 4K HDR.
- The OLED Burn-in Test shows full-screen colors that reveal a ghosted logo or uneven wear on an OLED, and adds a screen wash that can clear a temporary ghost. It is honest that permanent burn-in cannot be undone.
- The TV Motion Test shows moving patterns that reveal blur, stutter and the soap opera effect, so you can decide whether to switch motion smoothing off.
24 July 2026
- Six more tests, bringing the total to eleven: Dead Pixel, Backlight Bleed, Color Banding, Calibration Patterns, Screen Resolution and Audio Sync.
- All the full-screen picture tests now work the same way: Arrow keys to move between patterns, and Back or Escape to leave. The label fades away on its own so it never hides the very thing you are looking for.
- The dead pixel test includes a fixer that can sometimes revive a stuck pixel. It cannot help a pixel that is fully dead, and the page says so.
- Every test now points you to a few related tests, so the right one is easier to find.
- A cleaner, flatter look across the site.

- TV Test went live at tv-test.com with five tools.
- TV Capability Test: Reads your resolution, HDR, video and audio support, copy protection and sound, and explains each result in plain language.
- TV Internet Speed Test: Measures the real speed reaching your television and tells you whether it is enough for 4K, HDR or Full HD on each major service.
- What TV Do I Have: Identifies which platform your set runs and which app store it uses. It tells you honestly that no website can read your exact model number.
- Overscan and Screen Fit: Shows whether your TV is quietly cropping the edges of the picture, and how to switch it off on every major brand.
- TV Speaker Test: Checks the left and right channels, sweeps the full range, and helps you find a rattle or a dead speaker.
- Every result tells you how much to trust it, and where a result simply cannot be known from a browser we say so rather than guess. On a TV the whole site becomes a large, high-contrast layout you can drive with the arrow keys on your remote.
