Why Light Gray Is a Superior Test Color to White

Many display reviewers use a light gray screen instead of pure white because it reduces glare and makes subtle uniformity issues much easier to photograph and see. It is a staple in monitor and TV testing.

For everyday users, a light gray screen can be a more comfortable background for extended work sessions than stark white, while still providing enough brightness for clear visibility.
