What to check first on a Pixel 7 panel
Start with white and gray for tint and uniformity, then use black to inspect retention and primary colors for dead pixels.
This sequence covers the most common issues buyers worry about on a used OLED phone.
How to test in realistic conditions
Turn off strong display enhancements if possible and check the panel under controlled indoor lighting.
Comparing several brightness levels also helps reveal whether the screen changes character in darker conditions.
When a defect should matter
A minor edge issue may not matter for casual use, but central tint, strong banding, or visible burn-in can be harder to ignore.
Always compare what you see on test patterns against the price and condition of the specific device.
