107B Product Information

Q:Can I use LightFrame™ with Netscape?

A:You can use LightFrame™ with Netscape, but its functions are limited to manually highlighting the entire Netscape client window. Since LightFrame™ is specifically designed for bright, high contrast photo and video display, highlighting an entire Web page -- including text -- is not recommended.

For best results, we recommend you use LightFrame™ with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher. You can downloaded Internet Explorer free of charge from the Microsoft website (www.

microsoft.com). A copy of Internet Explorer 5.5 is also included on the CD-ROM shipped with your monitor.

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

A:Yes you can. And with LightFrame™ 3 this becomes even easier. There are three ways to do

this: 1) click the full screen button in the LightFrame control bar with your mouse. 2) Press the "windows" hotkey on your keyboard and press "L". 3) Via the OSD menu, scroll to Extra controls, press "OK", then LightFrame On.

Q:When I apply LightFrame™ to a text document I get blurry characters, what is wrong?

A:Nothing is wrong. The effect which you see is due to the sharpness enhancement that LightFrame™ is doing on your monitor. This sharpness improves a photo or video significantly however on black text on a light background the effect is less favorable. Please keep in mind that LightFrame™ is developed to enhance your photos and videos and not really for text or synthetic pictures.

You can decrease this effect by lowering the sharpness setting in the LightFrame™ 3 control panel.

Q: How can I tell if my monitor comes with LightFrame™ 3?

A:All Philips LightFrame™ 3 monitors display this logo on their front bezel:
