Many consumers recall news from a year ago when many consumer advocates began describing the down side of three dimensional television sets. It all focused on the side effects and what would happen when you were no longer watching.
Symptoms like nausea, headache, fatigue and eye strain are common. Over longer periods of exposure the health problems are thought to escalate, but there simply isn’t enough research to back that claim up since the technology is so new.
If you’re on the fence with purchasing a 3D set, our recommendation is to test the unit out in stores first and make sure you’re ready for the change. Once home it’s also very important to give yourself some breaks in between shows to help your eyes deal with the viewing more easily. While limited, health studies have proven that your eyes need to work much harder when viewing content on a 3D set.
