Single-channel backgrounds
Switch between red, green and blue while inspecting the same locations. A point that stands out on only one background may behave differently from a dark point visible on all of them. Clean the surface first and cross-check with white and black before treating a tiny mark as a panel defect.
Gradients and mixtures
Channel ramps vary one RGB component across the pattern. Compare their smoothness and look for unexpected bands or colored breaks. The mixing pattern adds combinations of channels for a broader visual check. It does not measure the spectral output of the primaries or the accuracy of the display's white point.
Keep the output path consistent
Picture modes, color profiles and browser rendering can affect saturated colors. Compare channels at the same settings and use normal content as a follow-up. If a problem appears only in one application or image, investigate its source and color-management path as well as the screen.
