Suggested launch copy
Show HN: Pixy - a cute browser-only screen test. Pixy checks resolution, colour gamut, HDR support, refresh rate, uniformity patterns, and frame timing without signup or upload. It cannot identify exact monitor model because browsers hide that hardware detail, so it reports practical capability signals instead.
Privacy facts
No signup, no camera permission, no screen upload, no install, and no special hardware permission. Pixy uses privacy-friendly Vercel Web Analytics for visitor counts and basic product events.
Useful search terms

Important limitation
Pixy is not a lab calibration tool. It cannot verify brightness, contrast ratio, factory calibration, panel type, manufacturer, exact model, or true pixel response time.
