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 LightFrame
TM
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?
Only a Philips driver can determine if your monitor is equipped with LightFrame
™
; a generic
Windows driver cannot. Install the special Philips driver that came with your monitor. If the
warning continues to flash after your Philips driver is installed, ignore the message.
LightFrame
TM
will function properly.
