Check the colour definition and general condition of your CPC monitor with this handy Me program by H.G.Piner. Colours looking a bit drab, picture starting to get a little bit wonky? Sounds like your monitor needs checking. Tester Is a useful utility program that draws a familiar test pattern style graphic in a number of ways according to the option selected. The purity check should not show any hint of any other colour than the one selected. The crosshatch checks should be linear. The circle should be round with no sign of colour fringing within the circle and a maximum of 1mm at the edges. The colour bar check should be white, yellow, cyan, green, magenta, red and blue with the border being black. The green bars running across the screen under the colour bars are nearly identical. Look for the vertical line In the centre where the two bars meet. The line is very difficult to see. If It's visible, then there Is no problem. If not. then the monitor needs to be adjusted by a technician. The sound check emits a tone through all three channels. TAU
