Frequently Asked Questions

17. How does LightFrame™ work?

LightFrame™ consists of a software application and an Integrated Circuit (IC) embedded in the monitor. Together, they boost brightness and sharpness in a user defined window or screen area. Unique LightFrameTM technology dramatically improves photo and video display quality.

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?
