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 20 feet 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.
