If necessary, refer to the Quick Start Guide for
stand mounting instructions.
3.1

Position the TV

In addition to reading and understanding the
safety instructions in Section 1.1, consider the
following before positioning your TV:
• The ideal viewing distance for watching TV
is three times its screen size.
• Position the TV where light does not fall
directly on the screen.
• Connect your devices before you position
your TV.
• Your TV is equipped with a Kensington
Security Slot at the back of the TV.
If connecting an anti-theft Kensington lock
(not supplied), position the TV within reach
of a permanent object (such as a table) that
can be easily attached to the lock.
• For the best Ambilight effect, position the
TV 10cm (four inches) to 20cm (eight
inches) away from the wall. Ambilight also
works best in a room with dim lighting.
