LightFrame™ for Windows
Introduction
Philips LightFrame™ feature enriches the experience of pictures and video on a Philips CRT (picture tube) monitor. LightFrame™ will boost the brightness and sharpness of photos and videos on the monitor screen.
To control the LightFrame™ feature in your monitor, you have to install the LightFrame™ application which you will find on this CD-ROM.
Note
Philips LightFrame™ will only work with monitors that have been built to use this software. Earlier Philips monitors or other manufacturers monitors will not work with this special software. It is recommended that you install this software only on a Philips monitor designed to use it. These monitors can be identified by the LightFrame™ logo on the front of the monitor.

LightFrame™ 2 -- Frequently Asked Questions (and answers)
LightFrame™
Q.What is LightFrame™?
A.LightFrame™ is an exclusive Philips hardware/software technology for the brightest, highest
contrast-ever on-demand display of photos and video on a monitor. It enhances the display quality of photos and videos in a selected window without impacting upon display of text-based applications.
file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/107X/product/product.htm (2 of 12) [10/3/2001 4:11:40 PM]
107X Product Information
Q.What is LightFrame™ 2?
A.LightFrame2 is a second-generation software package that working in conjunction with factory installed
LightFrame™ hardware adds great new features to LightFrame™.
Q: How can I tell if my monitor comes with LightFrame™ 2?
A: All Philips LightFrame™ 2 monitors display this logo on their front bezel:
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 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.
Upgrading to LightFrame™ 2
Q: How do I upgrade from LightFrame™ to LightFrame™ 2?
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.

107X Product Information
Q: Can I install LightFrame™ 2 over an older version? Must previous versions be uninstalled?
A: The LightFrame™ 2 installation program scans your system, removes old versions and upgrades
automatically to LightFrame™ 2. Here s how: If you downloaded the upgrade from the Philips Web site, remember the directory into which you saved the upgrade. When you click on the Setup icon, LightFrame™
2 scans your system, removes old versions and upgrades automatically to LightFrame™ 2. To upgrade from a CD-ROM disk, click on the Setup icon located in the \PC\LightFrame™ folder, select Install LightFrame™ 2 and follow on screen prompts.
Q: 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?
A: 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 both the LightFrame™ hardware-equipped monitor and system software, LightFrame™ does not function.
Q: What s new in LightFrame™ 2?
A: LightFrame™ 2 is full of neat new features: Here are just a few:
-Automatic detection of photos and videos on Web pages.
-Full screen highlighting through a Windows keyboard shortcut.
-Improved compatibility with multimedia applications.
To experience these and other new features, start using LightFrame™ 2 today!
LightFrame™2 applications and operating systems
Q: Can I use LightFrame™2 in DOS mode?
A: Yes, but in DOS, LightFrame™ 2 highlights the entire screen and must be manually switched on from the
OSD menu. Here s how: Open your monitor s OSD controls. Go to LIGHTFRAME in the EXTRA CONTROLS menu. Press the left/right button to switch LightFrame™ on or off.
Q: Can I use LightFrame™ 2 with my favorite game?
A: Absolutely. LightFrame™ can be used with any Windows game. When a DOS game runs in a DOS window, LightFrame™ must be manually switched on from the OSD menu. Here s how: Open your
monitor s OSD controls. Go to LIGHTFRAME in the EXTRA CONTROLS menu. Press the left/right button to switch LightFrame™ on or off.
Q: Does LightFrame™ 2 work on Mac computers?
A: Yes. Using drives that come with your monitor, LightFrame™ operates under MacOS8 or MacOS9. Due to hardware limitations, LightFrame™ is activated manually on Mac computers and functions are limited.
Q: Can I use LightFrame™ on a computer running Unix, Linux or other operating system?
A: Presently no application software exists for Unix or Linux. Unix is predominately used for high-end
professional applications. Because their users seldom view photos or video, our high-end large screen products do not support LightFrame™.
Q: Does LightFrame™ consume excessive system resources?
file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/107X/product/product.htm (4 of 12) [10/3/2001 4:11:40 PM]
107X Product Information
A: Because the monitor handles LightFrame™ processing, the feature consumes no system resources when
a portion of the screen is highlighted. Installed on a PC, the small LightFrame™ application program is active in the Windows system tray, but remains idle until a window is selected for highlighting. As soon as the monitor receives the initiate command from this software, the application again becomes idle, consuming few if any system resources. On rare occasions when a memory-hungry application pushes system resources to their limit, LightFrame™ can be easily exited to free up additional resources.
Q: Can I highlight two or more areas in the screen at the same time? A: No. Monitor hardware processes only a single rectangular area.
Q: I get a message warning that my monitor 'may not support LightFrame™. I am certain my monitor does. What is wrong?
A: 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 appear after your Philips driver is installed, ignore the message. LightFrame™ will function properly. You can avoid seeing the message by checking Don t show this message again .
Q: Is LightFrame™ software or hardware-based?
A: LightFrame™ consists of two important components: a chip in the monitor and software to control this chip. Therefore, LightFrame™ is a seamless interactive combination of both software and hardware.
LightFrame™ 2 and the Internet
Q: Can I use LightFrame™ to browse the Internet?
A: Yes. Integration with Internet Explorer is one of LightFrame™ s neatest new features. Now when you
open a Web page, LightFrame™ 2 scans LightFrame™ scans the document for a photo or video and highlights suitable material. Note: When more than one photo is displayed on a Web page, LightFrame™ highlights the largest. If multiple photos are the same size, LightFrame™ highlights top leftmost one. You can select a different photo manually. Here s how: Click the LightFrame™ On/Off button. Then hold down
the left mouse button and drag a frame around the photo. When you release the mouse button, the selected area is highlighted by LightFrame™.
Q: Can I use LightFrame™ with Netscape?
A: You can use LightFrame™ with Netscape, but its functions are limited to manually highlighting the entire
Netscape client window. Since LightFrame™ is specifically designed for bright, high contrast photo and video display, highlighting an entire Web page -- including text -- is not recommended.
For best results, we recommend you use LightFrame™ with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher.
You can downloaded Internet Explorer free of charge from the Microsoft website (www.microsoft.com). A copy of Internet Explorer 5.5 is also included on the CD-ROM shipped with your monitor.
Q: Will the highlighted area remain highlighted when I open a cached Web page stored locally on my computer?
A: Yes. When a Web page is loaded in Internet Explorer, LightFrame™ scans the document for a photo or
video and highlights suitable material. If LightFrame™ finds a photo or video in an online Web page, it will highlight the same object when the page is opened from a local cache.
Q: On some Web pages, LightFrame™ activates automatically; on others, it doesn t. Why?
A: Computers are smart, but you re smarter! When a Web page loads, LightFrame™ automatically seeks out photos or videos. Although the human eye has no problem picking out photos or videos on a busy
file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/107X/product/product.htm (5 of 12) [10/3/2001 4:11:40 PM]
107X Product Information
Web page, some special backgrounds and borders confuse LightFrame™. Here s why: To comply with the science of cathode ray tube design, LightFrame™ is trained to locate and highlight rectangular screen areas. Sometimes a border or background prevents LightFrame™ from determining where a photo, for example, ends and its border begins. To prevent distorted display when this happens, LightFrame™ will ignore that photo.
The workaround? Highlight the photo manually. Here s how: Click the LightFrame™ On/Off button. Then hold down the left mouse button and drag a frame around the photo. When you release the mouse button, LightFrame™ the selected area is displayed in the LightFrame™ window.
Q: On some Web pages, LightFrame™ highlights an area that doesn t contain a photo. What should I do?
A: Just as LightFrame™ may occasionally miss a photo, it sometimes is fooled into highlighting a
non-photo screen area. In both cases, it s about borders and backgrounds that prevent LightFrame™ for determining what is and what isn t a photo.
The workaround? Click the LightFrame™ Off button to deactivate LightFrame™ in the highlighted area.
Then highlight a photo you d like to display by again clicking the LightFrame™ On/Off button and holding down the left mouse button to drag a frame around the photo. When you release your mouse button, LightFrame™ activates around the selected area.
Using LightFrame™
Q: Can I activate LightFrame™ on my entire screen?
A: Yes. Here s how: To activate LightFrame™ in its full screen mode from your keyboard, simultaneously
press the Windows and letter L keys. (Location of the Windows key varies with keyboards and languages.
On most keyboards, it s to the right of the Control key.) To customize the keyboard shortcut for activating LightFrame™ in the full screen mode, go to the LightFrame™ applet in the Windows Control Panel.
An alternative: You can also activate LightFrame™ in its full screen mode from your monitor s OSD. Here s how: Open your monitor s OSD controls. Go to LIGHTFRAME in the EXTRA CONTROLS menu. Press the left/right button to switch LightFrame™ on or off.
Q: Why must I install the application to use LightFrame™?
A: Selectivity is the key to LightFrame™ s effectiveness. Increased brightness and sharpness enhances
photos and video display, but deteriorates text and detailed lines. Using LightFrame™ in a full screen mode 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?
file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/107X/product/product.htm (6 of 12) [10/3/2001 4:11:40 PM]
107X Product Information
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, 107X2x, 109S2x and 109B2x
Q: What computer configuration is required to run the feature?
A: LightFrame™ s main component is embedded in the monitor and as such is not dependant on your
system configuration.The LightFrame™ software that controls the hardware in the monitor is available for
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Millenium Edition (Windows Me), Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP® , MacOS8 and MacOS9.
All the applications use little to no system resources and therefore don't put higher demands to your system configuration than the operating system does.
Q: Does the feature effect my colored printout quality?
A: No. LightFrame™ is a feature that only effects the on-screen display. The enhancement is "enclosed" within the monitor and has no influence whatsoever on the quality of printouts.
Q: How can I change settings for LightFrame™?
A: It s easy: Open the Windows control panel by clicking Settings | Control Panel from your Start panel. In
Control Panel, double click on the LightFrame™ icon. You ll see a list of the settings that can be

customized. To learn more about customization options, check out the LightFrame™ help file by pressing the help button in the control panel.
Q: In the OSD menu, what does "LightFrame On/Off" mean?
A: You can switch LightFrame™ on or off from the OSD menu of any LightFrame™ 2 monitor. This is a
handy feature when you use DOS applications or other operating systems not supported by the
LightFrame™ software.
Here s how: Open your monitor s OSD controls. Go to LIGHTFRAME in the EXTRA CONTROLS menu. Press the left/right button to switch LightFrame™ on or off.
Q: How do I use the LightFrame™ 2 control bar that appears at the top my screen?
A: The control bar is another upgrade that helps you run all LightFrame™ 2 s neat, new features. The illustration below describes the tasks each button performs.
Accustomed to working with the original LightFrame™ tray icon? No problem: It s still there and can be used to turn LightFrame™ on or off and check LightFrame™ status.
Q: Can I move the LightFrame™ 2 control bar?
A: The screen location of the LightFrame™ control bar is fixed. If the control bar blocks your view of an
application, you can exit LightFrame™. Here s how: Click once on the LightFrame™ logo and select Exit from the pop-up menu.
When you reboot your system, LightFrame™ will restart automatically. You can also reload LightFrame™ from the Start menu by clicking LightFrame 2 in the Philips LightFrame™menu under Programs.
Q: When is LightFrame™ automatically switched off?
A: To avoid less than optimum display even when LightFrame™ is manually activated from the OSD screen, it will automatically switch off when:
-A mode change occurs: for example, when the monitor changes resolution or refresh rate.
-The monitor enters sleep mode.
-The monitor is powered off and on again.
Q: Can LightFrame™2 highlight simultaneously highlight multiple screen areas? A: No. LightFrame™ 2 operates in a single rectangular screen area.

A
Autoscan
A microprocessor-based feature of Philips Brilliance monitors is able to detect automatically horizontal and vertical frequencies of input signals with those of the installed video card. An autoscan monitor can thus operate with a wide range of video cards. MultiSync, a registered trademark of NEC, provides a similar function.

C
CE Mark
CE mark is displayed on products per EMC and LV ( low Voltage Device ) directives in compliance with
European Community safety, EMI and EMS requirements and is compulsory on products for sale in the
European Community.
Color temperature
A way of describing the color of a radiating source in terms of the temperature (in degrees Kelvin) of a black body radiating with the same dominant frequency as the source.
Most Philips monitors offer the possibility of setting the color temperature to any desired value.
Contrast
The ratio between the brightness of the brightest and darkest parts of a picture. The darkest part of a picture is set by the brightness of the unexcited phosphor, which is governed by the degree with which ambient light is reflected. Contrast is therefore reduced in conditions of high ambient light levels. Black Matrix tubes reflect less ambient light so exhibit higher contrast than other tubes.
Convergence error
Bean misalignment causing one or more of the three beams passing through the wrong aperture in the shadow mask and striking a phosphor dot in the wrong triad.
Convergence error is expressed in mm often at three well-defined points on the screen, designated A, B and C (see figure ). Also known as misconvergence.

Glossary
Points where convergence error is specified.
Convergence-error correction
A method of correcting for convergence error to insure that all three beams land simultaneously in the same triad. This is usually accomplished by means of special convergence-error correction coils in the deflection yoke.
CRT
Cathode-ray tube - the general term for all tubes in which one or more electron beams emitted by a cathode are periodically scanned across a phosphor screen by means of deflection circuitry. A special form of the cathode-ray tube is the TV and monitor picture tube.
CustoMax
Philips proprietary monitor control software that allows users to control parameters (e.g., Size, Color,
Geometry) using software running in Windows. CustoMax is compatible with existing VGA cards. See CrystalClear FAQ and USB Bay FAQ.

DDC (Display Data Channel)

Glossary
DDC is a communication channel for displays and computers. The DDC feature allows the monitor controller to be automatically configured to make optimal use of the display without manual user interaction. DDC is implemented as part of the new Plug & Play approach introduced into the PC market to increase user friendliness.
The three levels developed for Plug & play are: (1) DDC1, monitor send data to the PC; (2) DDC2B, PC can request information from monitor; and (3) DDC2Bi which is a two-way communication - monitor can be addressed and PC or graphics board can give commands to monitor.
DDC 1/2B
See DDC.
DDC 2Bi
See DDC.
Degaussing
The procedure of demagnetizing the shadow mask and associated metal parts of a picture tube at switch-on to minimize picture distortion. This is usually accomplished by means of a special degaussing coil through which a decaying alternating current is passed to generate an alternating magnetic field that gradually decays to demagnetize the tube. Some monitors offer a manual degaussing facility that can be activated at any time.
Digital control
Microprocessor-based digital control of picture parameters and video modes for complete control of picture settings and modes and instant recall of all settings at the push of a button. This is a very advanced feature that allows the user to switch to any required mode at any instant without having to spend time readjusting the picture. It is currently available in most Philips monitors.
Dot pitch
The shortest distance between two phosphor dots of the same color on the screen. The smaller the dot pitch, the better the resolution of the monitor.

Dot rate
Frequency in MHz of the dot clock. It is a measure of the speed with which data is transferred between the video card and subsequent processing circuitry.
Also known as video dot rate.

E
Electromagnetic radiation standards
International standards set to limit electromagnetic emissions from monitors. There are currently two important standards both derived from regulations originally laid down by Swedish authorities.
MPR-II
The standard originally proposed by the Swedish National Board of Measurement and Testing. It set maximum levels of electromagnetic radiation emitted by monitors, and has now been adopted as a world standard. MPR-II defines maximum permitted electrostatic, magnetic and electric field levels measured at a distance of 50 cm from the center of the monitor (see table).
TCO
file:///D|/rita/LF2/LF2/LFa1/multi_manual/english/GLOSSARY/Glossary.htm (5 of 18) [10/3/2001 4:11:43 PM]
Glossary
In 1991, the Swedish Tjänstemannens Central Organization (TCO, Swedish confederation of Professional
Employees ) set a standard even more severe than MPR-II, especially for alternating electric fields (AEF).
The TCO standard is more severe since not only are the permitted field levels reduced compared with
MPR-II, but the measuring distance is also reduced (see table).
Electromagnetic radiation standards
EMI (Electrical Magnetic Interference)
The electrical and/or magnetic radiation coming from the working electrical or electronic equipment.
EMS (Electrical Magnetic Sustainment)
The ability of electrical or electronic equipment to function properly in the environment with electrical and/or magnetic interference.

F
Flicker
Very rapid variations in picture intensity caused by the finite time required for the electron beam to scan a picture onto the screen. Two kinds of flicker occur: line flicker caused by the electron beam scanning-in each line of the picture; and frame flicker (or field flicker if the picture is interlaced) caused by the frame repetition rate of 50 frames/second. Frame flicker is noticeable with GUI and DTP software (which have a light background), and can be very disturbing, especially for those who work regularly with displays - contributing to eye strain, headaches, visual blurring, stress, etc. The problem can, however, be eliminated by increasing the refresh rate (number of frames/second) of the monitor to a value above around 70 Hz. Sensitivity to flicker appears to diminish with increasing age.

Hertz
The unit of frequency named after the physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894). 1 hertz (Hz) is equal to 1 cycle/second.
