Viewing 3D Imaging
WARNING
Viewing Environment
Viewing Time
-
When watching 3D contents, take five- to
fifteen-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
Some users may experience a seizure or other
abnormal symptoms when they are exposed
to a flashing light or particular pattern from
3D contents.
Do 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.
3D Contents are not recommended for those
who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo
anomaly. Double images or discomfort in
viewing may be experienced.
If 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.
If your eyesight varies between your right
and left eye, correct your eyesight prior to
watching 3D contents.
Symptoms which require discontinuation or
refraining from watching 3D contents
Do not watch 3D contents when you feel
fatigue from lack of sleep, overwork or
drinking.
When these symptoms are experienced, stop
using/watching 3D contents and get enough
rest until the symptom subsides.
- Consult your doctor when the symptoms
persist. Symptoms may include headache,
eyeball pain, dizziness, nausea, palpitation,
blurriness, discomfort, double image,
eyestrain, or fatigue.
CAUTION
Viewing Environment
Viewing Distance
-
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
Infants / Children
- Usage/ Viewing 3D contents for children under
the age of 5 is not recommended.
- 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.
Teenagers
- Teenagers may be stimulated by light coming
from 3D videos. Advise them not to watch 3D
videos for a long time when they are tired.
Elderly
- The elderly may perceive less of a 3D effect
than the youth. Do not sit closer to the TV
than the recommended distance.
Cautions when using the 3D glasses
Make sure to use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise,
you may not be able to view 3D videos
properly.
Do not use 3D glasses instead of your normal
glasses, sunglasses, or protective goggles.
Using modified 3D glasses may cause eye
strain or image distortion.
Do not keep your 3D glasses in extremely high
or low temperatures. It will cause deformation.
The 3D glasses are fragile and are easily
scratched. Always use a soft, clean piece of cloth
when wiping the lenses. Do not scratch the
lenses of the 3D glasses with sharp objects or
clean/wipe them with chemicals.
