Pixel Tester You want to check if your portable Mac or your screens or LCD displays have any dead pixels? You want to buy a second-hand portable Mac or LCD display but you want to check it first not to buy a defective one? You have multiple screens connected on the same Mac and want to check all of them without changing the connections?
Pixel Tester helps you to detect any dead pixel on your screens or LCD displays.
You can test all possible and existing colors on your screen simply by moving the mouse, which is fun, simple and fast.
You can in particular test pure red, pure
What's New
Version 5.1.-2147483648d-2147483648: Release notes were unavailable when this listing was updated.
Instead of shelling out the absurd price of $20 for this simple one trick pony, you could pay merely $9 for Tiger Cache Cleaner; it's an excellent system maintenance app which INCLUDES a pixel testing feature, along with other nifty, useful features not available in other maintenance apps. And it's also PPC/Intel friendly.
But if you'd rather piss away your $20 on Pixel Tester
3.4(and I can't imagine why), then the pleasure is yours.
So, still $20(15 Euros) for this redundant little trifle..... a most pedestrian pixel tester, which is easily available for free from other developers, eh, Alpha Omega Software? Well, in the words of the French guard in scene 8 of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, "I FART in your general direction!". Feh!!!!
Another reinvention of the wheel(and a simple wheel, at that), RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED at $20 from a company that charges that amount for all their software, including (now get this!) a Startup Chime Stopper(I've been using the FREE and excellent "Psst!").
There are a number of FREE pixel testers that work just fine; just do a MacUpdate search.
Hey developer, I dare you to justify charging $20 for this....no, I double dare you!
The company's name is "AlphaOmega", as in the "beginning and the end". I guess the developer means the first and last word in software, no?
Well, it's the first and last word in CHUTZPAH!
Ya know, I think I'll avoid buying ANY software from this developer.....just 'cause I feel like it!
God, this really bummed me out.
You have got to be kidding. I might as well help that guy in Africa get his dad's funds out of the country...
Total scam. Free alternatives and the program has about 5 lines of code... if you count comments...
Pathetic attempt to try and get our hard earned cash. Do yourself a favour and save your money.
This guy should be blacklisted!

Crashed on my Powerbook.
Anyway I'm not paying $5 for this, there are hundreds of free apps that do the same thing.

Why pay for this when they are a simple straightforward program that will do the same for free?

Give the guy a break! This software does what it says, you don't have to download it if you don't want to. And by all means, don't slander it. Im giving it a good score because it does what it says, and does it well.

I will give the moron a break when he stops posting phony 5-star reviews and charging for a lousy software which is either available as freeware elsewhere (and better) or duplicates an already existing OS X-built function (an AlphaOmega favorite) .. Here is the reply to a comment I posted:

We at MacUpdate.com are aware that the "AlphaOmega" developer has, upon occasion, posted in the reviews of his own apps... giving very positive reviews of his own apps. We do our best to assure that his "reviews" are deleted but sometimes he slips one by us. Please do report this sort of behaviour to us here at MacUpdate.com... Thanks.

Pixel Tester helps you to detect any dead pixel on your screens or LCD displays.
You can test all possible and existing colors on your screen simply by moving the mouse, which is fun, simple and fast.
You can in particular test pure red, pure green and pure blue by moving the mouse at the bottom of the screen, and pure white by moving it at the top of the screen.
You can test pure black at the end of the test.
It uses several patterns to help you to detect dead pixels more easily.
It supports multiple monitors and asks you at launch which one you want to test.
It doesn't need any installation which makes it very easy to use.
It is available in Dutch, English, French, German and many other languages.
