Monitor TestUFO 3 brings native 1:1 resolution mode, ready for 1000Hz+ monitors
Blur Busters has released TestUFO 3.0, a new version of its browser-based display testing suite.
TestUFO is used by monitor reviewers, YouTubers, and perhaps the most important group: enthusiasts, who need repeatable motion tests that viewers can also run at home. It is also used by display makers and educators, since it works in a web browser and does not require installing a dedicated app.
The big theme in v3.0 is control over how test patterns are rendered. A new native 1:1 resolution mode can temporarily override OS DPI and browser zoom, which helps when you need pixel-accurate patterns for scaling checks, chroma tests, and pursuit photos. TestUFO 3.0 also adds fixed scaling presets up to 600%, plus an integer scaling option for nearest-neighbor rendering.
Blur Busters also lists support aimed at “1000 Hz+” testing, so I’m guessing Samsung’s new Odyssey G6 1040 Hz monitor will be supported.

Other upgrades focus on coverage across devices and browsers. TestUFO 3.0 is positioned as faster-loading and more usable on phones and tablets, and it expands wide color and HDR handling with Display-P3 and Rec.2020 support. WebGL rendering and shader-based demos are now part of the stack, including a CRT electron beam simulator.
Highlights of TestUFO 3.0 Upgrades
- Faster – Loads faster than TestUFO 2.x.
- Mobile friendly – Test phone and tablet screens.
- Native 1:1 resolution mode – Temporarily override OS DPI & browser zoom for test patterns.
- Custom pixel scaling – 100%, 200%, 300%, 400% and 600%.
- Optional integer scaling – Nearest neighbor scaling for pixelated versus smooth/blurry graphics.
- Better Sync – Green indicator works more often on more platforms including Linux and Mac.
- Improved WCG & HDR – Supports Display-P3 and Rec.2020 mode.
- WebGL support – Now supports rendering in WebGL mode.
- Shaders – Support for shader-based demos including CRT electron beam simulator.
- Bidirectional motion – Most motion tests can now scroll in both directions.
- Futureproof 1000+ Hz support – Requires custom instructions to work
- Improved settings screen – Tweak TestUFO to your preferences
For day-to-day testing, most users will still land on the classic motion pages, just with more knobs. And given the website’s theme, let me just add that it’s like time travel to the mid-2000s.
