Frequently Asked Questions
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. I get a message warning that my monitor 'may not support LightFrame '. I am certain my
monitor does. What is wrong?
