Assuming you can run Windows, go to the desktop appearance control
panel and create a cross-hair background pattern cell that's white
with a black background.  With this, you can examine the linearity
and convergence.  You can create a pattern of vertical lines to test
the focus/resolution.  (You can do this under X-windows also, but
it's not necessarily quite as easy: use bitmap and xsetroot.)

You may also want to display linear RGB color ramps to test out the
color adjustments.
