107T Product Information
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.
