Frequently Asked Questions
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.
22. What will happen when my system is no longer connected to a LightFrame™ enabled monitor
- for example, when I take my notebook on the road?
