3D IMAGING

(Only 42/47LX6***, 47/55LX9***, 50/60PX9***)

This TV can display in 3D via 3D broadcasting or when the TV is connected to a compatible device, such as 

a Blu-ray 3D Player. You need such a device to watch the TV in 3D. The 3D TV displays two separate pictures 

formatted for each eye. The viewer needs to wear 3D glasses in order to see these images in 3D format.

►

When viewing 3D images, it is important to watch 

the TV from an effective viewing angle and within 

the appropriate distance. The appropriate angle is 

120°(when the viewing distance is 2m (6.5 ft)) and 

distance is 2m – 7m (6.5ft – 22.9ft). If you exceed 

this viewing angle or distance, you may not be 

able to view the 3D imaging. 

  Further 3D images may not be displayed if they 

are  viewed while you are lying down. (LCD TV/

LED LCD TV only)

►

If you watch the 3D images too closely or for a 

long period of time, it may harm your eyesight. If 

you feel any sort of eyestrain stop viewing the 3D 

images remove the 3D glasses and rest.

►

Watching the TV or playing video games that incor-

porate 3D images with the 3D glasses for a long 

period of time can cause drowsiness, headaches 

or fatigue to you and/or your eyes. If you experi-

ence any of these symptoms stop viewing the 3D 

TV remove the 3D glasses and rest. 

►

Pregnant woman, seniors, persons with heart 

problems or persons who experience frequent 

drowsiness should refrain from watching 3D TV.

►

Do not use the 3D imaging or 3D glasses whilst walking 

or moving around. Using the 3D imaging and glasses 

while moving around may result in injuries due to run-

ning into objects, tripping and/or falling.

►

Some 3D imaging may cause you to duck or dodge 

the image displayed in the video. Therefore, it is 

best if you do not watch 3D TV near fragile objects 

or near any objects that can be knocked over easily.

►

 Please prevent children under the age of 5 from watching 

3D TV. It may affect their vision development.

►

 

  Some viewers may experience a seizure or epi-

lepsy when exposed to certain factors, including 

fl ashing lights or image as in TV or video games. 

If you or anybody from your family has a history of 

epilepsy or seizure, please consult with your doc-

tor before watching 3D TV.

  If you experience any dizziness or light headed-

ness, visual transition or altered vision, visual or fa-

cial instability, such as eye or muscle twitching, un-

conscious action, convulsion, loss of conscience, 

confusion or disorientation, loss of directional 

sense, cramps, or nausea immediately stop watch-

ing the 3D imaging and consult a doctor.  Parents 

should monitor their children, including teenagers, 

for these symptoms as they may be more sensitive 

to the effects of watching 3D TV.

  Risk of photosensitization seizure can be reduced 

with the following actions.

  - Take frequent breaks from watching 3D TV.

 - 

 

For those who have  vision that is different in 

each eye,  they should watch the TV after taking 

vision correction measures.

 - 

 

Watch the TV so that your eyes are on the same 

level as the 3D screen and refrain from sitting too 

closely to the TV

 - 

 

Do not watch the 3D imaging when tired or sick, 

and avoid watching the 3D imaging for a long pe-

riod of time.

 - 

 

Do not wear the 3D glasses for any other pur-

pose than viewing 3D imaging on a 3D TV.  

 - 

 

Some viewers may feel disoriented after watch-

ing 3D TV. Therefore, after you watch 3D TV, 

take a moment to regain awareness of your situ-

ation before moving.

►

To watch the TV in 3D, you must put on your 3D 

glasses. For best results, you should wear LG 

Brand 3D glasses. The 3D imaging may not dis-

play properly when using another brand of 3D 

glasses. Please see the 3D glasses manual for 

instructions on how to use the 3D glasses.

►

After powering on the TV, a few seconds may be 

needed for your TV to calibrate. 

►

 It may take a moment for you to see the 3D imag-

ing if you look away from the TV and then revert 

your eyes back to the 3D program.

►

The TV may fl icker slightly if the 3D imaging is dis-

played under 3 wavelength lamp fl uorescent light 

(50 Hz - 60 Hz) or magnetic fl uorescent lamp (50 

Hz - 60 Hz). In such instances, it is recommended 

to turn the lights off.

►

If there is an obstacle between the TV and the 3D 

glasses, the 3D imaging may not display properly.

►

Do not use the TV in close proximity to other elec-

tronic equipment and IR equipment.

►

In Analog TV, 3D Imaging does not work.

►

When watching 2D images, it is recommended to 

take off the 3D glasses. If you watch 2D images with 

the 3D glasses on, you may see distorted images.

►

When watching digital TV in 3D imaging mode, 

monitor out signals cannot be output through 

the SCART cable.

  If you set the 3D mode to On while a scheduled 

recording is performed on digital TV, monitor out 

signals cannot be output through the SCART 

cable, and the recording cannot be performed.
