Fun test!  Got 4 too, almost the same hues as Trippy had. (It's a bug!) Edit: My monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster 226BW |

Scored 16 on this laptop, with problems in 3 areas. Explains why I have such trouble colour balancing photos on it  Will try on the calibrated monitors upstairs when my back is hurting less, see if I can do better :) |

Thank god I've got that art degree.  I got a perfect on my LG and my Gateway btw. The monitor shouldn't make a difference, this isn't a greyscale test, colors don't get crushed that much. Not how they're testing at least. Edit: Also, I wish it timed it. Took me about 3 minutes, if that, each time. |

Also got a zero (perfect).
Dell M1530 laptop.
Age: 42, Male.
Also wished I'd timed it -- felt it took same as Schild (about 3 mins each, if that)
No art degree, but my favorite color was once Pantone Matching Color 2847...

Though I don't have one to test with, I would suspect that those of you with TFT LCD monitors will have more trouble with this since most of those panels are actually 6-bit instead of 8-bit for each of the red, green, and blue pixels so you'll have more trouble distingushing between the colors.

A 4, slightly right shifted exactly as from Trippy's result.
Using a factory default set Dell E197FP (1280x1024).
I didn't bother with the laptop screen, I already know it's horrid, gives me sore eyes if I look at it for more than a few minutes.

Guys, I really really don't think monitor makes a difference. I calibrated both of mine by eye until they looked good to ME, ask Rattran, they looked terrible to him. But then, I scored a 0.  |

 Could there be a more boring test? I am incapable of doing more than one bar. Still, better than 864 this time! |

I got an 18 with a dell. I have decided to blame the dell instead of the mind numbing thought of "why the hell am I doing this?" that came with the test.

Yeah, I almost destroyed something several times when trying to get through that. Scored a 7 nevertheless.

Avid photographer, used to manage a photo lab. Glad I still got it. Dell 2001 20.1" widescreen lcd. Took maybe 8-10 minutes for the whole test.  |

Guys, I really really don't think monitor makes a difference. I calibrated both of mine by eye until they looked good to ME, ask Rattran, they looked terrible to him. But then, I scored a 0. No, it really does make a difference. I've calibrated my laptop as best I can (the colourimeter I have won't work on it so I have to do it by eye with Adobe Gamma etc) and have done this test twice on it, getting 14 and 16, with problem spikes in the same areas each time. Doing it twice on the proper monitors I get perfect score each time. Sure, if you've got poor colour vision (864!) then it won't make a huge difference but if you've got good colour vision then a crappy monitor will fuck that up. I don't think the calibration makes a huge difference for this kind of test because monitor calibration is mostly about black & white points and overall colour temperature & casts, and this is a test of relative differentiation. It doesn't test for actual colour rendition accuracy at all, just discrimination between closely related hues. |

27. My results got steadily worse as I progressed through the test, so I think it is I rather than the monitor that is the weak link there.

I got an 18 on the work monitor, which I know is dark (my food photos always look off). Also, I have a ruptured blood vessel in my right eye.
I'll add that I didn't spend more than two minutes on it.

I think I'm gonna fuck up the hue and saturation on my monitor just to prove I can still get a zero.
excuses, excuses
Actually, I'll just do it on my laptop later. I still don't believe, despite the paragraphs above, that both of my desktop monitors are ANYWHERE near perfect.

To be fair, I use a black-and-white monitor at work.  |

You're such a reductionist Schild :) Things are complicated sometimes! All I'm saying is that I think that both monitor quality and your own colour perceptivity (made-up word!) could affect this. I've no idea how accurate a monitor would need to be to allow a perfect score on this, all I know is that I get a worse score on a crappy laptop than on a proper monitor. Nerdedit: I'd guess that just messing with the colour balance on you rmonitor wouldn't make a huge difference unless it was a severe enough fucking up to cause channel clipping, so you might have to muck about a lot with more than just one colour channel. |

I got a 223 (and I spent a good 10 minutes on it), but then I already knew I was color-blind.
