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
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?
