3D IMAGING
This TV can display in 3D via 3D broadcasting or 
when the TV is connected to a compatible device, 
such as a Blu-ray 3D Player. You need such a 
device to watch the TV in 3D. The 3D TV displays 
two separate pictures formatted for each eye. The 
viewer needs to wear 3D glasses in order to see 
these images in 3D format.
yyWhen watching 3D images, you should 
maintain a distance of at least twice the 
screen width, and you should also be 
able to see all of the screen at eye level.  
yy If you watch the 3D imaging too closely or 
for a long period of time, it may harm your 
eyesight.
yy Watching the TV or playing video games 
that incorporate 3D imaging with the 3D 
glasses for a long period of time can 
cause drowsiness, headaches or fatigue 
to you and/or your eyes. If you have a 
headache, or otherwise feel fatigued or 
drowsy, stop watching the TV and have 
a rest.
yy Pregnant woman, seniors, persons with 
heart problems or persons who experi-
ence frequent drowsiness should refrain 
from watching 3D TV.
yy Some 3D imaging may cause you to 
duck or dodge the image displayed in the 
video. Therefore, it is best if you do not 
watch 3D TV near fragile objects or near 
any objects that can be knocked over 
easily.
yy Please prevent children under the age of 
5 from watching 3D TV. It may affect their 
vision development.
yy Warning for photosensitization seizure: 
Some viewers may experience a seizure 
or epilepsy when exposed to certain fac-
tors, including flashing lights or images 
in TV or video games. If you or anybody 
from your family has a history of epilepsy 
or seizure, please consult with your doc-
tor before watching 3D TV. 
WARNING
Also certain symptoms can occur in 
unspecified conditions without any previ-
ous history. If you experience any of the 
following symptoms, immediately stop 
watching the 3D imaging and consult a 
doctor: dizziness or  light-headedness , 
visual transition or altered vision, visual 
or facial instability, such as eye or muscle 
twitching, unconscious action, convulsion, 
loss of conscience, confusion or disorien-
tation, loss of directional sense, cramps, 
or nausea.  Parents should monitor their 
children, including teenagers, for these 
symptoms as they may be more sensitive 
to the effects of watching 3D TV.
yy
 Risk of photosensitization seizure can be 
reduced with the following actions.
 »

 
 T
 ake frequent breaks from watching 3D 
TV.
 »

   
For those who have  vision that is dif
 -
ferent in each eye, they should watch 
the TV after taking vision correction 
measures.
 »

   
W
 atch the TV so that your eyes are on 
the same level as the 3D screen and 
refrain from sitting too closely to the TV.
 »

   
Do not watch the 3D imaging
  when 
tired or sick, and avoid watching the 3D 
imaging for a long period of time.
 »

   
Do not wear the 3D glasses for any 
other purpose than viewing 3D imaging 
on a 3D 

TV.  
 »

   
Some viewer
 s may feel disoriented 
after watching 3D TV. Therefore, after 
you watch 3D TV, take a moment to re-
gain awareness of your situation before 
moving.

yyTo watch the TV in 3D, you must put on 
your 3D glasses. For best results, you 
should wear LG Brand 3D glasses. The 
3D imaging may not display properly 
when using another brand of 3D glasses. 
Please see the 3D glasses manual for in-
structions on how to use the 3D glasses.
yy After powering on the TV, a few seconds 
may be needed for your TV to calibrate. 
yy It may take a moment for you to see the 
3D imaging if you look away from the TV 
and then revert your eyes back to the 3D 
program. (Only Plasma TV)
yy If there is an obstacle between the TV 
and the 3D glasses, the 3D imaging may 
not display properly.
yy Do not use the TV in close proximity 
to other electronic equipments and RF 
equipments.
yy In  Analogue  TV, 3D Imaging does not 
work.
yy When watching 2D images, it is recom-
mended to take off the 3D glasses. If you 
watch 2D images with the 3D glasses on, 
you may see distorted images.

your corrective glasses, sunglasses or 
protective goggles.
yy Do not store the 3D glasses in hot or cold 
locations.
yy Do not drop objects onto the 3D glasses. 
Do not drop or bend the glasses.
