Q: How does LightFrame™ work?
A: 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™ technology dramatically improves photo and video display quality.
Q: Is the size of the LightFrame™ screen limited?
A: No. You can select a single window or, using the drag mode, select the entire display area.The only
limitation is the visible screen area of your monitor. The minimum size of a LightFrame™ dragged area is 20
by 20 pixels.
Q: Will LightFrame™ shorten the life of a monitor? Is phosphor burn-in a potential problem?
A: No. Extensive testing has confirmed that LightFrame™ does not adversely effect 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 video. Though the peak brightness of the highlighted area is
strongly increased, the average brightness
increased. In any case, a special Automatic Beam Limiter (ABL) circuit keeps a monitor s maximum average
brightness within acceptable levels.

A: It s easy: Download LightFrame™ 2 software for any monitor equipped with LightFrame from the Philips
web site (www.pcstuff.philips.com). Remember the directory into which you saved the upgrade. When you
click on the downloaded program icon, LightFrame™ 2 scans your system, removes old versions and
upgrades automatically to LightFrame™ 2. But remember: Your monitor must have the LightFrame™
feature to upgrade to LightFrame™ 2.
