107S Product Information
all the time would degrade display of regular Windows applications. Using LightFrame™ selectively delivers
outstanding photo and video display as well as top quality display text for Windows applications. The
software provides interface between the chip in the monitor and the user.
Q: Can I use LightFrame™ at various resolutions?
A: Yes. LightFrame™ will operate at any resolution supported by the monitor. When changing monitor
resolution, a highlighted area is dimmed and the icon switches back to idle. After the new resolution becomes
active, LightFrame™ software has to be exited and restarted to load the new resolution .
Q: Can I use LightFrame" with a non-LightFrame™ equipped monitor?
A: No. Philips exclusive LightFrame™ feature requires the combined operation of hardware that resides in
your monitor and software installed on your system. It only works when a monitor with built-in hardware
receives commands from system software. Without the LightFrame™ hardware-equipped monitor,
LightFrame™ does not function.
Q: How can I remove the LightFrame™ software from my system?
A: Software can be easily uninstalled with the Windows Add/remove software function in Control Panel or
through the Uninstall feature in the Philips LightFrame program group. From the Control Panel Add/remove
software screen, select Philips LightFrame™. Then select Add/remove . Alternatively, open the Start
menu and select Philips LightFrame from Programs. Select Uninstall and follow the steps of the uninstall
feature.
Q: How can I quickly check to see if my Philips monitor has LightFrame™ or LightFrame™2?
A: Every monitor equipped with LightFrame™ has a logo on the front. The logo looks like this:
If your monitor came with LightFrame™2, than you will find a 2 with the logo. If your monitor doesn t have a
LightFrame™2 logo, you can still use the LightFrame™2 software.
Q: Is LightFrame™ software as well as hardware driven? If it is software driven, what happens when
a monitors is switched? How will the system react when a monitor with LightFrame™ is substituted
for monitor without LightFrame™?
A: The LightFrame™ feature is a combination of both hardware and software and will not function without
both components in place. During installation, the software will check if the monitor is LightFrame™ enabled.
Afterwards the computer cannot detect whether the monitor has been exchanged with one without
LightFrame™. Without a LightFrame™ monitor, LightFrame™ will not function; however, the system will
otherwise operate normally.
Q: Does LightFrame™ effect moving images or just still images?
A: LightFrame™ can be used on both still pictures and movies.
A: The principle behind LightFrame™ makes use of a luminance reserve that is normally present in a CRT
monitor. Because the brightness reserve degrades display of text and other native computer documents,
it is normally not used. As a rule, LCD monitors do not feature brightness reserve. In LCDs, brightness is
normally set at the maximum level.
Q: What models support LightFrame™?
A: Following models support LightFrame™: 105B2x, 107S2x, 107T2x, 107B2x, 107B3x, 107P2x, 109S2x
