WARNING
•Children and teenagers may be more susceptible to health issues associated with viewing in 3D and should be closely supervised when viewing these images.
PHOTOSENSITVE SEIZURE WARNING AND OTHER HEALTH RISKS
•Some viewers may experience an epileptic seizure or stroke when exposed to certain flashing images or lights contained in certain television pictures or video games. If you suffer from, or have a family history of epilepsy or strokes, please consult with a medical specialist before using the 3D function.
•Even those without a personal or family history of epilepsy or stroke may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause photosensitive epileptic seizures.
•Pregnant women, the elderly, sufferers of serious medical conditions, those who are sleep deprived or under the influence of alcohol should avoid utilising the unit’s 3D functionality.
•If you experience any of the following symptoms, stop viewing 3D pictures immediately and consult a medical specialist:
1.altered vision;
2.lightheadedness;
3.dizziness;
4.involuntary movements such as eye or muscle twitching;
5.confusion;
6.nausea;
7.convulsions;
8.cramps; and/ or
9.disorientation.
Children and teenagers may be more likely than adults to experience these symptoms. Parents should monitor their children and ask whether they are experiencing these symptoms.
•Viewing 3D television may also cause motion sickness, perceptual after effects, disorientation, eye strain and decreased postural stability. It is recommended that users take frequent breaks to lessen the potential of these effects. If your eyes show signs of fatigue or dryness or if you have any of the above symptoms, immediately discontinue use of this device and do not resume using it for at least thirty minutes after the symptoms have subsided.
•Watching TV while sitting too close to the screen for an extended period of time may damage your eyesight. The ideal viewing distance should be at least three times the screen height. It is recommended that the viewer's eyes are level with the screen.
•Watching TV while wearing 3D glasses for an extended period of time may cause a headache or fatigue. If you experience a headache, fatigue or dizziness, stop viewing TV and rest.
•Do not use the 3D glasses for any other purpose than for viewing 3D television. Wearing the 3D glasses for any other purpose (as general spectacles, sunglasses, protective goggles, etc.) may be physically harmful to you and may weaken your eyesight.
•Viewing in 3D may cause disorientation for some viewers. Accordingly, DO NOT place your TV television near open stairwells, cables, balconies, or other objects that can be tripped over, run into, knocked down, broken or fallen over.
GUIDELINES FOR IN-HOME VIEWING
•To watch in 3D mode you need to put the 3D glasses on and press the power button on top of the glasses.
•Turn off all fluorescent lighting and block sources of direct sunlight before watching in 3D mode. Fluorescent lighting may cause a flickering effect and direct sunlight may affect the operation of the 3D glasses.

3D is a fad and will fade away when people realize there's more pain than pleasure.
The funny thing is, when I play something like Avatar 2D with my very nice Wireworld HDMI cable out of my media PC, it looks VERY 3D, as will happen with ANY very high quality imaging system and lots of depth of field. THIS is the way do 3D that doesn't hurt. I have a Wireworld USB and that's really good too. They really know their stuff when it comes to digital. I haven't tried their analog cables yet.
I can't imagine how 3D it'll look when I upgrade to an LED LCD TV.
Admittedly it was just a brief look: Best Buy had the 55-incher set up so a buddy and I had a look, and agreed that it looked good playing "Monsters Vs Aliens" when sitting in the seats they provided. Beyond that, I can't say. Those warnings about seizures and such are common in video games too. The legal notices seem silly and excessive, but you know that folks have sued over dumber things, and sometimes they've won.
We live in a warning obsessed world that has evolved as a substitute for common sense, a cautionary to the occasional situationally challenged individual and most poignantly, as a preemptive band-aid to a litigation prone society.

See the link.
The crispy deep-fried one that really could burn your tongue if you were careless!

And so sad. Of course, that wasn't my intention with the post.
3D has a ways to go before it will be welcomed in my home. Right now, it's just more fake than real. And what success is guaranteed by scaring off pregnant women and teenagers, the core audience for all things video?
> > > "Right now, it's just more fake than real." < < <
That depends on the type of movie and implementation of the 3D effects.
Some films I've seen are very impressive, and the 3D television from JVC that was demonstrated at last years Siggraph impressed me quite a bit, dependent upon the programming presented.
Personally, I don't see 3D as being something that folks will want to watch all the time or with certain kinds of programming. Where 3D seems to work best is with digital animation, HD filmed nature documentaries and "some" action features. OTOH, taking things to a third dimension stereoscopically will never satisfy everyone, nor should it.
I look at the polarized lens 3D potential as much more than a novelty, but much less of an entertainment life changer. In any event, the theatrical success of the medium is a good indication that it's here to stay in one form or another and HT is the obvious next application. Is the technology ready for "prime time" and are we ready for it is another matter.

Now that would be interesting, although I'm sure they'd come up with something like 3-DD for marketing purposes.
:-)
Sounds like fun, but I think I'll pass.
It sounds like they are trying to avoid potential future law suites.
