1. In a display system operable to display a plurality of pixels, a method for determining device-specific information about pixels of an output display device, where each pixel includes a plurality of sub-pixels each defining a color component and having a position, the positions of the sub-pixels forming a sub-pixel geometry of the output display device, the method comprising:
displaying a plurality of regions on the output display device, including selecting a pattern for each region of the plurality of regions, where each pattern is associated with a particular possible sub-pixel geometry of a plurality of possible sub-pixel geometries;
receiving a user input selecting a region of the plurality of regions; and
using the received user input to determine that a first sub-pixel geometry from among the plurality of possible sub-pixel geometries best corresponds to the actual sub-pixel geometry of the pixels of the output display device.
