About Graywolf

Static and moving references for a more attentive look at display behavior.

Graywolf combines static screen patterns with visual motion checks for users who want a sharper look at everyday display behavior.

01 / Why it exists

Make a closer look easier

Some concerns appear on a still desktop; others show up only when an edge moves. Graywolf puts both kinds of visual reference in one direct path.

The motion tool is intentionally comparative. It does not read panel electronics, calculate response time, or certify refresh performance.

02 / What you can inspect

Nine focused visual references

Solid ColorCycle through black, white, RGB, cyan, magenta, and yellow to look for unusual bright, dark, or fixed pixels.

Black ScreenUse an uninterrupted black field to inspect possible edge glow, bleed, clouding, or uneven dark areas.

Uniformity FieldsCompare center, edges, and corners across neutral fields at several brightness levels.

Pixel GridSwitch among horizontal lines, vertical lines, a reference grid, and a checker pattern.

Sharpness TargetInspect fine text, radial lines, concentric targets, and corner detail for apparent softness or halos.

Contrast StepsCompare near-black and near-white steps to see whether adjacent tones remain distinguishable.

Grayscale RampView stepped and continuous gray ramps for abrupt jumps, tinting, clipping, or visible banding.

Color RampsInspect red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow transitions from dark to bright.

Motion TrailTrack a moving reference at three speeds to compare perceived blur, trailing, and animation smoothness.

03 / Principles

How Graywolf is designed

Two-mode thinking

Static and moving references are presented as complementary tools.

Controlled comparison

Guidance asks users to change only one setting at a time.

No invented metrics

The browser animation never claims a hardware measurement.
