3D IMAGING (FOR 42/47/55LX6500)
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.

WARNING
►When  viewing  3D  imaging,  watch  the  TV  from 
an  effective  viewing  angle  and  within  the  ap-
propriate  distance.  The  appropriate  angel  and 
distance  are  provided  on  the  next  page  of  this 
manual. If you exceed this viewing angle or dis-
tance, you may not be able to view the 3D im-
aging.  Furthermore,  the  3D  imaging  may  not 
display if it is viewed while you are lying down.
►If you watch the 3D imaging too closely or for a 
long period of time, it may harm your eyesight.
►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 take a rest.
►Pregnant  woman,  seniors,  persons  with  heart 
problems  or  persons  who  experience  frequent 
drowsiness should refrain from watching 3D TV.
►Some  3D  imaging  may  cause  you  to  duck  or 
dodge the image displayed in the video. There-
fore,  it  is  best  if  you  do  not  watch  3D  TV  near 
fragile  objects  or  near  any  objects  that  can  be 
knocked over easily.
► Please prevent children under the age of 5 from 
watching  3D TV.  It  may  affect  their vision  devel-
opment.
►Warning for photosensitization seizure:
  Some viewers may experience a seizure or epi-
lepsy when exposed to certain factors, 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 
doctor before watching 3D TV.
  Also  certain  symptoms  can  occur  in  unspeci-
fied  conditions  without  any  previous  history.  If 
you  experience  any  of  the  following  symptoms, 
immediately stop watching the 3D imaging and 
consult  a  doctor:  dizziness  or  lightheadedness, 
visual  transition  or  altered vision, visual  or facial 
instability, such as eye or muscle twitching, un-
conscious action, convulsion, loss of conscience, 
confusion  or  disorientation,  loss  of  directional 
sense, cramps, or nausea.  Parents should mon-
itor their children, including teenagers, for these 
symptoms as they may be more sensitive to the 
effects of watching 3D TV.
 Risk  of  photosensitization  seizure  can  be  re-
duced with the following actions.
 - Take frequent breaks from watching 3D TV.
 -  For  those who  have   vision  that  is  different  in 
each eye,  they should watch the TV after tak-
ing vision correction measures.
  -  
Watch  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 pur-
pose than viewing 3D imaging on a 3D TV.  
  -  Some  viewers  may  feel  disoriented  after 
watching  3D  TV.  Therefore,  after  you  watch 
3D TV, take a moment to regain awareness of 
your situation before moving.
►To  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 instructions on how to use the 3D glasses.
►After powering on the TV, a few seconds may be 
needed for your TV to calibrate. 
►  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.
►The TV may flicker slightly if the 3D imaging is 
displayed  under  3  wavelength  fluorescent  light 
(50  Hz  -  60  Hz)  or  around  windows  display-
ing natural light. In such instances, it is recom-
mended to turn the lights low and/or block the 
sun light with a curtain.
►If  there  is  an  obstacle  between  the  TV  and  the 
3D  glasses,  the  3D  imaging  may  not  display 
properly.
►Do  not  use  the  TV  in  close  proximity  to  other 
electronic equipments and IR equipments.
►In Analog TV, 3D Imaging does not work.
