Link or DP cable, depending on the purchased model. Yet you need to have the appropriate
hardware equipment and software programs that are compatible with 3D playback.
3D content can be transferred to XL2420TX through HDMI cable (version 1.3 or above) as well.

Playing 3D content
Follow the instruction manuals of your 3D accessories to install the hardware and the software.
If the 3D glasses are properly connected and IR signal is detected, the IR emitter indicator on
the bottom right of the monitor and on the IR emitter module (purchased separately for
XL2420T / XL2420TE / XL2720) will light up.
To improve the performance of 3D glasses, you can do the following:
• On XL2420TX, check if there are any obstacles in front of the IR sensor located at the front
top of the monitor that keep the sensor from receiving signals from the 3D glasses.
