Safety precautions and maintenance

WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than those specified in this documentation may result in exposure to shock, electrical hazards and/or mechanical hazards.

Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:

● Unplug the monitor if you are not going to use it for an extensive period of time.

● Unplug the monitor if you need to clean it with a slightly damp cloth. The screen may be wiped

with a dry cloth when the power is off. However, never use alcohol, solvents or ammonia-based liquids.

● Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when you have followed

the instructions in this manual.

● The casing cover should be opened only by qualified service personnel.

● Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from stoves or any other heat source.

● Remove any object that could fall into the vents or prevent proper cooling of the monitor’s

electronics.

● Do not block the ventilation holes on the cabinet.

● Keep the monitor dry. To avoid electric shock, do not expose it to rain or excessive moisture.

● When positioning the monitor, make sure the power plug and outlet are easily accessible.

● If turning off the monitor by detaching the power cable or DC power cord, wait for 6 seconds

before attaching the power cable or DC power cord for normal operation.

● To avoid the risk of shock or permanent damage to the set, do not expose the monitor to rain or

excessive moisture.

● IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your application. If a still image in

high contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave an 'after-image' or 'ghost image' on front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by the shortcomings inherent in LCD technology. In most cases, the after-image will disappear gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off. Be aware, that the after-

image symptom cannot be repaired and is not covered under warranty.

Consult a service technician if the monitor does not operate normally when the operating instructions given in this manual have been followed.

LightFrame

for Windows

Introduction

Philips LightFrame

feature enriches the experience of pictures and video on a Philips 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 LightFrameTM 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

will work with true Windows-based programs and DOS-based programs that operate in a

Windows® environment. It will not work with DOS-based programs operating only in a DOS environment.

LightFrameTM 3 -- Frequently Asked Questions (and answers)

Q: Is LightFrame

2 compatible with LightFrameTM 3?

A: No. If you run LightFrame

1 or 2 software with a Philips LightFrameTM 3 monitor, nothing will

happen.

Q: Can I use LightFrame

3 software on my LightFrameTM 1 / 2 monitor.

A: No for a LightFrame

1 or 2 monitor you need to use LightFrameTM 1 or 2 software. It is however

possible to use the LightFrame

2 software on a LightFrameTM 1 monitor.

file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/B2C/ENGLISH/170X4/product/product.htm (2 of 10) [3/1/2004 6:01:59 PM]

Product Information

Q: What is the difference between LightFrameTM 1, LightFrameTM 2 and LightFrameTM 3?

A: LightFrame

1 was the very first generation of the LightFrameTM feature introduced by Philips. In that

version the user needs to manually turn on/off the feature and select the window or area to apply it to.

LightFrame

2 offers the automatic detection in Internet Explorer on top of the LightFrameTM 1 functions.

With this feature LightFrame

will automatically scan a web page in Internet Explorer, find the largest

picture and enhance it. LightFrame

3 offers everything that LightFrameTM 2 has but now with the possibility to enhance multiple

pictures at the same time. So in a web page LightFrame

will find all the pictures and enhance them

simultaneously or in a photo viewing application you can enhance multiple photos at once. Furthermore LightFrame

3 comes with an easy to activate full screen function. This is especially handy for games

and movies. Just one click on the full screen button and LightFrame

enhances your total monitor.

Q: Can I upgrade my current Philips monitor to LightFrame

A: No. For LightFrame

3 Philips developed special hardware which is build into the monitor. Therefore

upgrading from LightFrame

1 or 2 to 3 is not possible. It is however possible to upgrade your

LightFrame

1 monitor to LightFrameTM 2 by installing the LightFrameTM 2 software.

Q: Can I install LightFrame

3 over an older version?

A: When you install LightFrame

3 the setup wizard will scan your system to check if you have an older version installed. If so, the setup wizard will remove that version before continuing with the installation of the new version. Please be aware that for LightFrame

3 you also need a monitor which is capable of

running the LightFrame

3 feature.

Q: How many windows can I enhance at the same time?

A: In LightFrame

3 it is possible to enhance up to 7 windows at the same time. It is however important to understand that when other windows, toolbars or menus overlap the enhanced windows, the maximum number of enhanced windows can be less.

Q: How many pictures can LightFrame

enhance in Internet Explorer?

A: In Internet Explorer LightFrame

3 can enhance up to 14 pictures at the same time. LightFrameTM 3 filters the pictures it finds based on the minimum size of the picture therefore it may happen that some pictures are not enhanced when you open a web page.

Q: Can I enhance two or more area’s at the same time?

A: Yes. With LightFrame

3 you have the possibility to select several windows with pictures and videos

and enhance them at the same time.

Q: Some times my mouse changes to a light bulb with a plus sign and sometimes with a minus

sign. What is the difference?

A: The mouse pointer in the shape of a light bulb indicates that LightFrame

is ready to accept a selection from you for which window should be enhanced. If there is a minus sign it means that you are moving over a window where LightFrame

is already active

file:///D|/My%20documents/dfu/B2C/ENGLISH/170X4/product/product.htm (3 of 10) [3/1/2004 6:01:59 PM]

Product Information

and clicking this window will switch the enhancement off. A plus sign appears when moving over a window which is not enhanced and clicking that one will enable LightFrame

on that window.

Q: What is wrong when my mouse changes into a light bulb with a red cross?

A: Nothing. It just means that your mouse moves outside the application where you already have one or

more windows enhanced. You can only select windows with in the same application. The cross indicates that you move into an area where you cannot make a selection.

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: Can I activate LightFrame

on my entire screen?

A: Yes you can. And with LightFrame

3 this becomes even easier. You just press the LightFrameTM

button on the bezel to activate it.

Q: When I apply LightFrame

to a text document I get blurry characters, what is wrong?

A: Nothing is wrong. The effect which you see is due to the sharpness enhancement that LightFrame

is doing on your monitor. This sharpness improves a photo or video significantly however on black text on a light background the effect is less favorable. Please keep in mind that LightFrame

is developed to

enhance your photos and videos and not really for text or synthetic pictures. You can decrease this effect by lowering the sharpness setting in the LightFrame

3 control panel.

Q: How can I tell if my monitor comes with LightFrame

A: All Philips LightFrame

monitors display this logo on their front bezel:

Q: How do I use the LightFrameTM 3 control bar that appears at the top my screen?

A: The control bar is another upgrade that helps you run all LightFrame

3's neat, new features. The

illustration below describes the tasks each button performs.

sRGB

sRGB is a standard for ensuring correct exchange of colors between different devices (e.g. digital cameras, monitors, printers, scanners, etc.)

Using a standard unified color space, sRGB will help represent pictures taken by an sRGB compatible device correctly on your sRGB enabled Philips monitors. In that way, the colors are calibrated and you can rely on the correctness of the colors shown on your screen.

Important with the use of sRGB is that the brightness and contrast of your monitor is fixed to a predefined setting as well as the color gamut. Therefore it is important to select the sRGB setting in the monitor's OSD.

To do so, open the OSD by pressing the OK button on the front of your monitor. Use the down button to go to Adjust Color and press OK again. Then move the down button to go to sRGB and press OK again.

Exit this OSD.

After this, please do not change the brightness or contrast setting of your monitor. If you change either of these, the monitor will exit the sRGB mode and go to a color temperature setting of 6500K.

For more information on sRGB, please visit: www.srgb.com

Note: sRGB mode is not available while 'LightFrame

' function is activated.
