HTML5 Stereo Viewer hosted Test Images

This website uses the HTML5 Stereo Viewer to display real digital stereoscopic photographs.

The HTML5 Stereo Viewer is a web application created by the Japanese stereo photographer Masuji Suto for displaying 3D photographs in web browsers with HTML5 support on a computer monitor, tablet or smartphone.

Take a moment to make yourself familiar with the operation of this viewer to help you work out the best way to view and enjoy the photographs on your devices.

The following are 4K test images that can be viewed using the HTML5 Stereo Viewer or downloaded for offline testing.

Some images are solid background colours to detect burn in issues. Others have vertical bars of a single colour to detect issues with the overlay used to separate the left and right channels. 90% of the screen may be good, but areas where logos and/or menu bars have been displayed for prolonged periods may have issues. In some, the bars in each image are of different colours so that you can detect ghosting or bleeding between the colour channels. There are two 4K Test Patterns that are set back slightly behind the stereo window. These allow you to check all parts of the screen for resolution related issues. There is an Anaglyph Red/Cyan Grid that will appear grey in 3D and Red and Cyan for the left and right sides when viewed separately.

The best test image for detecting OLED screen burn-in is the Pure Colour - Red image.

* There is no 3D effect with these images.

Real world examples of where these test images detect image retention/burn-in

Example 1 - Where the supplied images tell a different story to the words...

The following is from an online marketplace advertisement for a 2016 3D LG OLED Television (IMO one of the best 3D models LG produced). The advertisement included the following text which is complete contrast with screen images provided.

"Selling my LG OLED65E6T — an incredible OLED TV and a true collector’s gem for 3D fans. This was LG’s last OLED model with full 3D support, offering stunning picture quality, deep blacks, and immersive 3D playback that newer models just don’t offer anymore.

Perfect for movie lovers, retro 3D Blu-ray collectors, or anyone who appreciates top-tier OLED quality.

TV is in good condition and has been well looked after.

Note: There is some minor burn-in visible when displaying strong red or yellow backgrounds — common for this model and doesn’t affect everyday viewing or 3D playback. See pictures."

The screen is damaged beyond repair by endless hours of playing the same on-line game and is now only good for parts.

Example 2 - Where the supplied images tell the same story as the words...

The following is from an online marketplace advertisement for a Panasonic OLED Twin 4K UHD TV with Digital Tuners. The advertisement included the following text.

"NOTE: This TV has image retention/burn-in on the panel (see test images before considering!) - Do not buy if you want perfect picture. The set is fully working in all other aspects. Red and Green pixels are the predominantly affected from static on-screen graphics and TV station logos. The amount you notice it depends on the content.

Would still be good for man-cave or for parts (e.g. remotes or circuit boards). In original packaging (large box requires van, large SUV, trailer or ute to transport)."

The screen is damaged beyond repair by endless hours of playing the same tv program and is now only good for parts.

Correct OLED colour display versus the screen image supplied with Example 1

Evaluating burn-in when purchasing a used OLED TV requires display good test images and comparison against Red, Magenta and Green referrence cards from a colour accurate printer.

What colours best detect OLED image retention/burn-in?

Red, Magenta, and Yellow are the best colours to detect image retention/burn-in. Blue is the least likely colour to detect image retention/burn-in. Do not rely on a multi-colour test pattern alone, pure colours are best. Caution should be followed when an advertisement only comes with predominantly blue images.

All of these images are from the advertisement used as the source for Example 2 above.
