2.5 Precautions when Viewing 3D Video
zThe 3D effect may be experienced differently depending on the viewer. You may not notice the 3D 
effect at all if you have a prescription for one eye that is very different from the other eye.
zWhen viewing a 3D video under a fluorescent lamp or 3-wavelength lamp, you may notice a small 
amount of screen flickering.
zInterference may cause the 3D glasses to malfunction if there is any other 3D product or 
electromagnetic device (a microwave or a device that uses 2.4 Ghz-bandwidth frequency such as an 
Internet router) turned on nearby. If an unintended operation of the 3D glasses occurs, it is best to 
remove other electromagnetic devices or wireless communication devices nearby.
zVisually-sensitive viewers may notice a slight screen flickering when viewing bright images in 50Hz, 
3D video.
zRight after the monitor powers on, the left and right sides of 3D pictures may overlap more than 
usual. It may take a little time until the picture quality is optimized.
zIn some countries, strong flickering may be experienced from the 3D glasses depending on the 
ambient light intensity. To minimize flicker when viewing a 3D picture, dim the light or change the 
frequency on the PC to 50Hz or 100Hz.
