LightFrameTM will boost the brightness and sharpness of photos and videos on the monitor screen. To control the LightFrameTM feature in your monitor, you have to install the LightFrameTM application which you will find on this CD-ROM. Note Philips LightFrameTM 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 LightFrameTM logo on the front of the monitor. This software is not designed for use with LCD flat screen monitors. LightFrameTM 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. Language Selection While English is the default language of LightFrameTM, the User Interface can be set up to operate in Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese or Korean. Installation 1) To install LightFrameTM, place the CD in the CD-ROM drive. 2) Next, when the menu of items on the CD appears on your screen, click on 'Install LightFrameTM'. file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17_5/edoc/ENGLISH/107F/PRODUCT/PRODUCT.HTM (2 of 12)7/15/2004 5:32:43 PM 107F Product Information 3) Now, follow the on-screen prompts to properly install the program.

LightFrameTM 3 -- Frequently Asked Questions (and answers) LightFrameTM Q: Is LightFrameTM 2 compatible with LightFrameTM 3? file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17_5/edoc/ENGLISH/107F/PRODUCT/PRODUCT.HTM (3 of 12)7/15/2004 5:32:43 PM 107F Product Information A: No. If you run LightFrame™ 1 or 2 software with a Philips LightFrameTM 3 monitor, nothing will happen. Q:Can I use LightFrameTM 3 software on my LightFrameTM 1 / 2 monitor. A:No for a LightFrameTM 1 or 2 monitor you need to use LightFrameTM 1 or 2 software. It is however possible to use the LightFrameTM 2 software on a LightFrameTM 1 monitor. Q:What is the difference between LightFrameTM 1, LightFrameTM 2 and LightFrameTM 3? A:LightFrameTM 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. LightFrameTM 2 offers the automatic detection in Internet Explorer on top of the LightFrameTM 1 functions. With this feature LightFrameTM will automatically scan a web page in Internet Explorer, find the largest picture and enhance it. LightFrameTM 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 LightFrameTM will find all the pictures and enhance them simultaneously or in a photo viewing application you can enhance multiple photos at once. Furthermore LightFrameTM 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 LightFrameTM enhances your total monitor. Q:Can I upgrade my current Philips monitor to LightFrameTM 3? A:No. For LightFrameTM 3 Philips developed special hardware which is build into the monitor. Therefore upgrading from LightFrameTM 1 or 2 to 3 is not possible. It is however possible to upgrade your LightFrameTM 1 monitor to LightFrameTM 2 by installing the LightFrameTM 2 software. Q:Can I install LightFrameTM 3 over an older version? A:When you install LightFrameTM 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 LightFrameTM 3 you also need a monitor file:///D|/EDFU/crt_17_5/edoc/ENGLISH/107F/PRODUCT/PRODUCT.HTM (4 of 12)7/15/2004 5:32:43 PM 107F Product Information which is capable of running the LightFrameTM 3 feature. Q:How can I tell which version LightFrameTM my monitor can support? A:To check which version of LightFrameTM is supported by your monitor check the LightFrame logo which you will find on the top, right-hand corner of the monitor. If this logo has a small 3 in it, your monitor is ready for LightFrameTM 3. Otherwise you should use the LightFrameTM 1 or 2 software. Q: How many windows can I enhance at the same time? A:In LightFrameTM 3 it is possible to enhance up to 8 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 LightFrameTM enhance in Internet Explorer? A:In Internet Explorer LightFrameTM 3 can enhance up to 16 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 LightFrameTM 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 LightFrameTM 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 LightFrameTM is already active 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 LightFrameTM on that window. Q:What is wrong when my mouse changes into a light bulb with a r ...
