What You Need
This is a passive 3D TV.
To watch 3D…
• tune to a TV channel that broadcasts programmes in
3D.
• rent a movie in 3D from an online video store.
• watch a movie in 3D from a 3D Blu-ray Disc, a USB
device or computer.
You can view photos in Ultra HD resolution in 3D,
from a USB connection.
You cannot watch 3D on native Ultra HD video,
videos from a device connected to the HDMI 5
connection.
For an extra pair of glasses order the Philips Passive
3D glasses PTA417 or PTA426 (sold separately). Other
3D glasses might not be supported.

your eyes should be level with the centre of the

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 6 meters 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.
