Optimal 3D viewing

For an optimal 3D viewing experience, we recommend that you:
sit at least 3 times the height of the TV screen away
from the TV, but no further than 6 meters away.
avoid fluorescent lighting (such as TL lighting or certain
energy saving light bulbs which operate on a low
frequency) and direct sunlight as they may interfere with
the 3D experience.

Health warning

Watching 3D is not recommended for children under
the age of six.
If you or your family have a history of epilepsy or
photosensitive seizures, consult a medical professional
before exposing yourself to flashing light sources, rapid
image sequences or 3D viewing.
If you experience any discomfort, stop watching 3D and
do not immediately engage in any potentially hazardous
activity (for example driving a car) until your symptoms
have disappeared. If symptoms persist, do not resume
watching 3D without consulting a medical professional
first.
To avoid discomfort such as dizziness, headache or
disorientation, we recommend not watching 3D for
extended periods of time.
Do not use the 3D glasses for any purpose other than
watching 3D TV.
If you normally wear corrective glasses or use contact
lenses, wear the 3D glasses together with these glasses
or lenses.
Keep the glasses away from small children to avoid the
swallowing of small parts or batteries.
Parents should monitor their children during 3D viewing
and ensure they do not experience any discomfort as
mentioned above. Watching 3D is not recommended
for children under six years of age as their visual system
is not fully developed yet.
Avoid the use of the 3D glasses in case of eye infection
