“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs
when watching or turning off the TV is generated
by plastic thermal contraction due to temperature and humidity. This noise is common for
products where thermal deformation is required.
Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A
low level noise is generated from a high-speed
switching circuit, which supplies a large amount
of current to operate a product. It varies depending on the product.
This generated sound does not affect the

chronic illness
Some users may experience a seizure or other
abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a
ashing 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 to 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, revise your eyesight prior to watching 3D

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 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.
Teenagers
- 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.

- The elderly may perceive less 3D effect
compared to the youth. Do not sit closer to the
TV than the recommended distance.
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, visual inconvenience
or fatigue.
Cautions when using the 3D glasses
Make sure to use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise, you
may not be able to view 3D videos properly.
