Dell 2005 quick bleeding test?

[pookguy88]

I ordered a 2005fpw and it should be arriving sometime this week, what's a good and quick test to determine if (and how much) there is any bleeding?

Also, what are some other things I should as an initial inspection for this monitor?

Let it warm up for an hour or so, run Dead Pixel Buddy with a black screen. Go through the other colors and check for dead pixels. Those are the only two tests i can really think of...

yeah, but how can i actually check for bleeding?

i guess my question is, what exactly is bleeding? does the room have to be dark, etc.?

Being in a dark room makes it more noticeable, but I can see it in a pretty bright room. When you look at a black screen, if the corners seem noticeably brighter than the others, you've got a bleeder.
