3D television isn't considered to be harmful although some people tolerate it better than others. Wearing glasses and watching 3D images can be uncomfortable for some people. In those cases, simply stop watching for a while.

Before buying a 3D television, make sure that you have properly experienced several models. Make your choice based on the experience that is most comfortable for you and your family.

Is Samsung 3D TV bad for the eyes?

There is no medical evidence (so far) that indicates you might receive any long term eye damage from watching 3D TV. Some people do experience headaches caused by eye strain when watching 3D images. The way to avoid or reduce this is to make sure you take regular short breaks when watching.


Are there any unhealthy side-effects to 3D TVs?

Some viewers find watching 3D television uncomfortable because of the weight of the glasses or simply because the 3D effects can sometimes be disturbing. Those who experience discomfort should stop watching but other than that, there is no evidence to suggest that watching 3D television is harmful. Note that there are two types of 3D technology available. Passive 3D uses polarized light to deliver images to the left and right eye continuously. Active 3D switches between the left and right eyes. Both have been reported to cause discomfort but if you cannot tolerate one, take a look at the other and see which suits you best.

Which 3D TV is not harmful for our eyes?

We're all different, and our eyes will respond differently to 3D images - so there's no guarantee that any 3D TV will not be harmful - though when we say harmful it's unlikely that anyone would experience long term issues. More likely some short term dizziness or nausea can be expected for a minority of people, as long as common sense is applied and you don't watch excessive amounts.


Do you have to wear the glasses all the time when using a 3D TV?

I feel eye fatigue and dizziness whenever I watch 3d and I am afraid that 3d watching will affect my kids eyes Can somebody suggest me a better tv with no eye problem?

All 3D televisions have been the subject of this type of complaint. If you are one of the few people who cannot tolerate 3D imaging, it's better to stop watching 3D or limit viewing. If your children complain of the same symptoms, be a responsible parent and stop them watching 3D television. Although there is no medical evidence of long term serious damage, don't take chances with your own children. Perhaps as they get older, they will be able to tolerate it better. Also remember that different models are somewhat different to watch. Before buying, take the time to look at several models to see which is the most comfortable.


Is the movie Step Up 3D only in 3D?

No. Step Up 3D can also be in 2D. Watching a movie in 3D might cause $20 more than if the movie's not in 3D, but they should also have a non-3D version at the theatres.
