The options you can select are:

- 100% white field -You should see the entire display turn bright white, except for the menu that displays the monitor test options, the help text, and the text below it.

- 30% white field - You should see the entire display turn gray, except for the menu that displays the monitor test options, the help display, and the text below it.

- 10% white field - You should see the entire display turn dark gray, except for the menu that displays the monitor test options, the help display, and the text below it.

- Black field - You should see the entire display turn black, except for the menu that displays the monitor test options, the help display, and the text below it.

- Focus - You should see the entire display fill up with the focus pattern in white displayed on a black background.

- Grey scale - You should see the top half of the screen as 32 shades, ranging from white on the left to black on the right. The bottom half of the screen should range from black on the left to white on the right.

- Red video - This video control enables or disables the red beam. If the menu description specifies “on” for this video stream, the beam is enabled; otherwise it is disabled. This control is used with some of the patterns to produce different primary colors. The resultant color is a combination of enabled video streams.

This control is used with some of the patterns to produce different primary colors. The resultant color is a combination of enabled video streams.

- Online help for each of the options on the menu. The help is displayed by default. It can be toggled off by pressing the `h` key.

- A facility to hide the menu and help display to enable viewing the selected test pattern across the complete screen area, with the exception of a single line of informational text. Click the middle mouse button to toggle the display.
