Indian Head Test Pattern at 16:9

I spent way too much time on something this afternoon, so I figured I'd share the fruits of my labor.

A 16:9 version of the classic "Indian Head" test pattern:
Click for really a really gigantic version (3465x1944)

Perhaps this will be of use to someone.

Love your 16:9 test pattern! It has found a home as my PC desktop wallpaper. I tried the original, but it stretched on the 16:9 aspect and looked awful. But yours... well... spectacular!

THANKS!!!

Can this test pattern work for purposes of checking monitor resolution? The only version I have seen so far has retro NTSC scan lines, not a clean pattern.

I want a clean pattern, that might actually have some technical use. With an indian head.

This test pattern was recently scanned at a high resolution from the original test card, and then modified to be widescreen.

There should be no scane lines, because it was not captured from a video source. I'm not sure whether it is suitable for checking monitor resolution, though.
