The F2 key controls a moving, transparent image. Pressing it repeatedly will increase its speed or turn it off.

The F3 key controls what background is shown. The various backgrounds aid you in

1. Finding the borders of the display.
2. Finetuning the white/black contrast of the display.
3. Find the correct aspect of the display by making sure that the circle is completely round.
4. When pixel-to-pixel correlation is vital (for instance when using LED screens), affirming that the 1 pixel wide lines in the Test image are 1 pixel wide on the screen.

If possible, use auto adjust or similar function on your display to make sure that the display will show the image in as good quality as possible.

Note: The test image is also a good way of pinning down display issues, as it is being rendered in a different way then normal playback.

To exit the test image, press the Escape key on your keyboard or right-click the window.
