107X Product Information

Web page, some special backgrounds and borders ￿confuse￿ LightFrame™. Here￿s why: To comply with the science of cathode ray tube design, LightFrame™ is ￿trained￿ to locate and highlight rectangular screen areas. Sometimes a border or background prevents LightFrame™ from determining where a photo, for example, ends and its border begins. To prevent distorted display when this happens, LightFrame™ will ignore that photo.

The workaround? Highlight the photo manually. Here￿s how: Click the LightFrame™ On/Off button. Then hold down the left mouse button and drag a frame around the photo. When you release the mouse button, LightFrame™ the selected area is displayed in the LightFrame™ window.

Q:On some Web pages, LightFrame™ highlights an area that doesn￿t contain a photo. What should I do?

A:Just as LightFrame™ may occasionally miss a photo, it sometimes is ￿fooled￿ into highlighting a

non-photo screen area. In both cases, it￿s about borders and backgrounds that prevent LightFrame™ for determining what is and what isn￿t a photo.

The workaround? Click the LightFrame™ Off button to deactivate LightFrame™ in the highlighted area. Then highlight a photo you￿d like to display by again clicking the LightFrame™ On/Off button and holding down the left mouse button to drag a frame around the photo. When you release your mouse button, LightFrame™ activates around the selected area.

Using LightFrame™

Q: Can I activate LightFrame™ on my entire screen?

A:Yes. Here￿s how: To activate LightFrame™ in its full screen mode from your keyboard, simultaneously press the Windows and letter L keys. (Location of the Windows key varies with keyboards and languages. On most keyboards, it￿s to the right of the Control key.) To customize the keyboard shortcut for activating LightFrame™ in the full screen mode, go to the LightFrame™ applet in the Windows Control Panel.

An alternative: You can also activate LightFrame™ in its full screen mode from your monitor￿s OSD. Here

￿s how: Open your monitor￿s OSD controls. Go to LIGHTFRAME in the EXTRA CONTROLS menu. Press the left/right button to switch LightFrame™ on or off.

Q: Why must I install the application to use LightFrame™?

A:Selectivity is the key to LightFrame™￿s effectiveness. Increased brightness and sharpness enhances photos and video display, but deteriorates text and detailed lines. Using LightFrame™ in a full screen mode all the time would degrade display of regular Windows applications. Using LightFrame™ selectively delivers outstanding photo and video display as well as top quality display text for Windows applications. The software provides interface between the chip in the monitor and the user.

Q: Can I use LightFrame™ at various resolutions?

A:Yes. LightFrame™ will operate at any resolution supported by the monitor. When changing monitor resolution, a highlighted area is dimmed and the icon switches back to idle. After the new resolution becomes active, LightFrame™ software has to be exited and restarted to load the new resolution .

Q: Can I use LightFrame" with a non-LightFrame™ equipped monitor?

A:No. Philips exclusive LightFrame™ feature requires the combined operation of hardware that resides in your monitor and software installed on your system. It only works when a monitor with built-in hardware receives commands from system software. Without the LightFrame™ hardware-equipped monitor, LightFrame™ does not function.

Q: How can I remove the LightFrame™ software from my system?
