Pattern resolution is intended to match native resolution of the display. At any other resolutions where the pattern size is scaled to the display size scaling artifacts will render many patterns useless. If your viewing program supports a scaling factor of 1:1, that is, one pixel in the image maps to one pixel in the display, then patterns not matching the display resolution will show without artifacts but intent of some of the patterns will not be attained.
Here are links to zip files containing test patterns for HDTV and common monitor resolutions. Each zip file contains 206 unique patterns arranged in groups by file name. These files are named with the actual resolution and a descriptive resolution identifier taken from a Wikipedia article.
* Caution - Huge file: 257,371,010 bytes.
The tables below describe the groups that make up the files in the above zip files. The images are examples of typically a subset of the contents of a group. They are not links to the full size images, which are only available in the zip files. This is because of the amount of room the uncompressed files in all the resolutions would consume.
The thumbnails (160x100) in the examples show artifacts arising from the small size. These do not appear in the full-size images.
These patterns are intended for a quick, overall assessment or check of a display. The use of the term checkers is unrelated to the term check. Checkers refers to an alternating black/white pattern similar to a checkers board and is frequently used with gamma patterns. Check refers to assessment or evaluation.
Stock ISP firmware is notoriously restrictive. Providers lock down settings to prevent user errors and reduce tech support calls. Upgrading to a high-quality or custom firmware build changes this dynamic completely. Unlocking ISP Restrictions
The router will upload the file and begin flashing.
Flashing firmware requires a stable connection to prevent bricking the router. Follow these steps exactly to ensure a safe installation. 1. Preparation
More efficient management of the 2.4GHz spectrum, maximizing VDSL speed throughput [2]. B. Advanced Network Management and Security sagemcom fast 4315 firmware extra quality
To update the firmware on your Sagemcom F@st 4315 , you must access the router's web-based admin interface and upload the update file manually through the maintenance menu. In most cases, these updates are provided directly by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), such as Telstra or TalkTalk, rather than the manufacturer.
Upgrading to high-quality firmware provides several immediate benefits:
Never turn off the router while a firmware update is in progress, as this can permanently damage the device. Tips for Maintaining Top-Quality Performance Stock ISP firmware is notoriously restrictive
If you are experiencing any of the following, your current firmware version is likely of low quality or outdated:
Enable QoS and input your maximum upload and download speeds (run a speed test beforehand).
But “extra quality” came with a price. Jordan’s router ran hotter—the extra transmit power and CPU governor set to “performance” pushed the internal temperature to 78°C (172°F). He had to glue a small 40mm heatsink to the top of the BCM63178 chip. Unlocking ISP Restrictions The router will upload the
Sagemcom FAST 4315 Firmware: Achieving Extra Quality Performance and Enhanced Stability
The Sagemcom Fast 4315 firmware provides several benefits to users, including:
Disconnect the DSL phone line from the back of the router to prevent interruptions. 2. Enter the Recovery Interface Power off the router using the power button.

Many years ago I posted some HDTV test patterns to Flickr. They were quite popular, received quite a few hits, and were probably linked from another site but I never found where.
In December, 2013, I wrote a new generating program in Python, included several composite images, many geometric and color images and used descriptive file names. These were, and continue to be, some of my most popular images on Flickr but at Flickr they were only in a resolution of 1920x1080.
In March, 2023, I converted the generating program from Python2 to Python3 correct a bug causing vertical lines in one of the color images, changed the name of the image files, updated the resolutions, and added many new patterns including the inverse of several.
29 Dec 2023 - Replaced WUXGA-1900x1200 with WUXGA-1920x1200. Original was in error. Thanks, Shawn, for pointing this out.
