minute breaks every hour. Viewing 3D
contents for a long period of time may
cause headache, dizziness, fatigue or
eye strain.
Those that have a photosensitive
seizure or chronic illness
ySome users may experience a seizure or
other abnormal symptoms when they are
exposed to a flashing light or particular
pattern from 3D contents.
yDo not watch 3D videos if you feel
nausea, are pregnant and/ or have a
chronic illness such as epilepsy, cardiac
disorder, or blood pressure disease, etc.
y3D Contents are not recommended to
those who suffer from stereo blindness
or stereo anomaly. Double images
or discomfort in viewing may be
experienced.
yIf you have strabismus (cross-
eyed), amblyopia (weak eyesight) or
astigmatism, you may have trouble
sensing depth and easily feel fatigue due
to double images. It is advised to take
frequent breaks than the average adult.
yIf your eyesight varies between your right
and left eye, revise your eyesight prior to
watching 3D contents.
Symptoms which require discontinuation
or refraining from watching 3D contents
yDo not watch 3D contents when you feel
fatigue from lack of sleep, overwork or
drinking.
yWhen these symptoms are experienced,
stop using/watching 3D contents and get
enough rest until the symptom subsides.

CAUTION
Viewing Environment
Viewing Distance
y
- Maintain a distance of at least twice the
screen diagonal length when watching
3D contents. If you feel discomfort in
viewing 3D contents, move further away
from the TV.
Viewing Age
yInfants/Children
- Usage/ Viewing 3D contents for children
under the age of 5 are prohibited.
- Children under the age of 10 may
overreact and become overly excited
because their vision is in development
(for example: trying to touch the
screen or trying to jump into it. Special
monitoring and extra attention is
required for children watching 3D
contents.
- Children have greater binocular
disparity of 3D presentations than adults
because the distance between the eyes
is shorter than one of adults. Therefore
they will perceive more stereoscopic
depth compared to adults for the same
3D image.
yTeenagers
- Teenagers under the age of 19 may
react with sensitivity due to stimulation
from light in 3D contents. Advise them
to refrain from watching 3D contens for
a long time when they are tired.
