Frequently Asked Questions

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?

Philips exclusive LightFramefeature requires the combined operation of hardware that resides in your monitor and software installed on your system.

24. How did Philips achieve XtraSpace Design?

Philips achieved this breakthrough in reduced footprint CRT display devices through short depth tubes and a focused design process that squeezed every excess millimeter out of XSD monitor desk space requirements.
