Frequently Asked Questions

18. Why is LightFrame" important to me?

With LightFrame", selected Philips monitors deliver TV quality video and photo display while maintaining monitor performance for text-based applications. The result is that movies and other video are brighter and livelier; photos are more vibrant and lifelike.

19. Will anyone else have this?

LightFrame" was invented, developed and patented by Philips. It is a unique feature that you will find exclusively in Philips monitors.

20. Will LightFrame" shorten the life of a monitor?

No. Extensive testing has confirmed LightFrame" does not adversely affect monitor life. Today's state-of-the-art Philips monitors employ improved phosphors and are designed for high light output. LightFrame" normally highlights photos and videos. Though the peak brightness of the highlighted area is strongly increased, the average brightness - a determining factor for cathode deterioration - is not normally increased. In any case, a special Automatic Beam Limiter (ABL) circuit keeps a monitor 's maximum average brightness within acceptable levels.

21.I get a message warning that my monitor 'may not support LightFrame" '. I am certain my monitor does. What is wrong?

Only a Philips driver can determine if your monitor is equipped with LightFrame"; a generic Windows driver cannot. Install the special Philips driver that came with your monitor. If the warning continues to flash after your Philips driver is installed, ignore the message. LightFrameTM will function properly.

22.What will happen when my system is no longer connected to a LightFrame" enabled monitor - for example, when I take my notebook on the road?
