Also brightness, you don't watch 3D TV with the lights on - it reduces the 3D effect. But of course you don't know this with your best buy five minute 3D education.
It reduces the 3d "effect" because any light not coming from the tv is background "noise",
and 3d is dim enough as it is.
But while side and rear light will interfere some, not greatly, and sometimes even enhance the picture slighty.
MAYBE DARKNESS is best, but if you have to have some light, side and rear lighting is best,
dimness. SOMETIMES THE OLD LADY WANTS A LIGHT.
