- When watching 3D contents, take 5 - 15 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
y
flashing light or particular pattern from 3D content.
Do not watch 3D videos if you feel nauseous, are pregnant and/ or have a chronic illness such as
y
epilepsy, cardiac disorder, or blood pressure disease, etc.
3D content is not recommended for those who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly.
y
Double images or discomfort in viewing may be experienced.
If you have strabismus (cross-eyed), amblyopia (weak eyesight) or astigmatism, you may have trouble
y
sensing depth and easily feel fatigue due to double images. It is advised to take frequent breaks.
If your eyesight varies between your right and left eye, you may experience eye strain.
y
ENGLISH
Symptoms which require discontinuation or refraining from watching 3D contents
Do not watch 3D content when you feel fatigue from lack of sleep, overwork or intoxication.
y
When these symptoms are experienced, stop using/watching 3D content and get enough rest until
y
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

maynot be able to view 3D contents properly.
Viewing Age
Infants / Children
y
- Usage/ Viewing 3D content for children under the age of 5 is 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 content.)
- 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
y
- Advise teenagers under the age of 19 not to watch 3D videos for a long time when they are tired.
Elderly
y
- The elderly may perceive less of a 3D effect than the youth. Do not sit closer to the TV than the
recommended distance.
