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?
