3D TVs, Harmful to more than your Wallet?

This week’s edition is a 15 second spot from LG about their 3D TV:

Even though the spot is shorter than usual, the fine print might not be as obvious due to a white background:

Viewing 3D TV may cause discomfort? Isn’t watching TV supposed to be one of the most comfortable things you do next to sleeping? That’s like stating that this “food may not be tasty” or “mattress may be lumpy.” 3D TV and movies seem to be all the rage now and there are even ones without glasses. I was actually intrigued by them for a possible man cave years down the road, but maybe I could get a regular TV that does not give me a headache for half the price. While it makes sense to have this fine print in the terms of service online, as Philips and Sony have done, I am not sure it is necessary for a national TV spot, scaring off potential customers.
