107X Product Information

A:Because the monitor handles LightFrame™ processing, the feature consumes no system resources when a portion of the screen is highlighted. Installed on a PC, the small LightFrame™ application program is active in the Windows system tray, but remains idle until a window is selected for highlighting. As soon as the monitor receives the initiate command from this software, the application again becomes idle, consuming few if any system resources. On rare occasions when a memory-hungry application pushes system resources to their limit, LightFrame™ can be easily exited to free up additional resources.

Q:Can I highlight two or more areas in the screen at the same time?

A:No. Monitor hardware processes only a single rectangular area.

Q:I get a message warning that my monitor 'may not support LightFrame™.￿ I am certain my monitor does. What is wrong?

A: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 appear after your Philips driver is installed, ignore the message. LightFrame™ will function properly. You can avoid seeing the message by checking ￿Don￿t show this message again￿.

Q: Is LightFrame™ software or hardware-based?

A:LightFrame™ consists of two important components: a chip in the monitor and software to control this chip. Therefore, LightFrame™ is a seamless interactive combination of both software and hardware.

LightFrame™ 2 and the Internet

Q: Can I use LightFrame™ to browse the Internet?

A:Yes. Integration with Internet Explorer is one of LightFrame™￿s neatest new features. Now when you open a Web page, LightFrame™ 2 scans LightFrame™ scans the document for a photo or video and highlights suitable material. Note: When more than one photo is displayed on a Web page, LightFrame™ highlights the largest. If multiple photos are the same size, LightFrame™ highlights top leftmost one. You can select a different 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, the selected area is highlighted by LightFrame™.

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:Will the highlighted area remain highlighted when I open a cached Web page stored locally on my computer?

A:Yes. When a Web page is loaded in Internet Explorer, LightFrame™ scans the document for a photo or video and highlights suitable material. If LightFrame™ finds a photo or video in an online Web page, it will highlight the same object when the page is opened from a local cache.

Q: On some Web pages, LightFrame™ activates automatically; on others, it doesn￿t. Why?

A:Computers are smart, but you￿re smarter! When a Web page loads, LightFrame™ automatically seeks out photos or videos. Although the human eye has no problem picking out photos or videos on a ￿busy￿
