PURPOSE: An image display device and an operating method thereof are provided to calculate coordinates of a pointer indicating the movement of a remote control device based on information about a distance between the remote control device and the image display device. CONSTITUTION: Information about a distance between a remote control device and an image display device is obtained(S610). The image display device receives movement information from the remote control device(S620). The image display device calculates coordinates of a pointer indicating the movement of the remote control device based on the distance information and the movement information(S630). The image display device displays the pointer according to the calculated coordinates(S640).
