FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
If there is a minus sign it means that you are moving over a window where LightFrameTM is already
active and clicking this window will switch the enhancement off. A plus sign appears when moving
over a window which is not enhanced and clicking that one will enable LightFrameTM on that
window.
Q: What is wrong when my mouse changes into a light bulb with a red cross?
A: Nothing. It just means that your mouse moves outside the application where you already have
one or more windows enhanced. You can only select windows with in the same application. The
cross indicates that you move into an area where you cannot make a selection.
Q: Can I use LightFrameTM with Netscape?
A: You can use LightFrameTM with Netscape, but its functions are limited to manually highlighting
the entire Netscape client window. Since LightFrameTM 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 LightFrameTM 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 LightFrameTM on my entire screen?
A: Yes you can. And with LightFrameTM 3 this becomes even easier. You just press the
LightFrameTM button on the bezel to activate it.
Q: When I apply LightFrameTM 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
LightFrameTM 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
LightFrameTM 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 LightFrameTM 3 control panel.
Q: How can I tell if my monitor comes with LightFrameTM 3?
A: All Philips LightFrameTM monitors display this logo on their front bezel:
