IS it really possible for a player to convert a 2d movie to 3d? Does anyone have 1st hand knowledge on this?

Not firsthand but I read a lot of reviews on 3D capable TV's and the prevalent opinion of those who have purchased such 3D TVs is that the feature improves the picture and is not high in cost. I bought my TV just a few days ago and may be able to give you a better answer soon. Hopefulskeptic

Hi Thanh, yes, you can play 3d discs in your 3d Blu Ray player. Thanks_Mitch

I don't understand your question. First of all, why would you? Second, every DVD/BlueRay that plays 3D can be played in 2D. The TV set is incredible.

There aren't many Tvs out three capable of turning 2D content to 3d. I didn't get a chance to put it in the original review but try this out for 3Dhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtpjKednC7g&feature=youtube_gdata_player. As for the sound, hdmi into port 1 only bring audio and video into the tv, you still need to run audio cables out to the receiver (red and white audio out located on the side of the tv. You've got to then go into the sound settings and turn off the internal speaker and switch the analog out setting to fixed. You're cable provider may offer free Ed content but short of a 3d bluray player, YouTube is the best place to find video.

It depends upon the signal, or seems to. There is an option for it, but it does not seem to work well, or at all, on some shows. It will not make every 2D show into a 3D one.

Yes, you just switch it to 2d on your tv, looks amazing in 2d as well, was watching this yesterday and tested it.

Yes it can be viewed in 2D. We too didn't care about the 3D feature. We love the tv, no complaints

Thanks for the response. Let me know if a 3D movie plays in this player as I am very interested in purchasing this unit.

yes, you can play all the game in 2d if you want. in fact the game isn't all in 3d. so you can enjoy both 2d and 3d parts

The best thing to do is to bug a 3D player and connect the player on a 3D projector/TV e.g. Epson PowerLite. and play a 3D ready movie. any other combinations except above may not be the same, in other words, not the best thing.

I have never used the 3D. It works GREAT in HD. One caveat: You do NOT want to view it in a well-lit room. You need blinds on your windows. I have it in my bedroom and it works GREAT. Think of the environment you'd want if you were watching a slide show or 8mm home movie on a projector screen.

I've not tried 3-D. I needed a zone 1 & 2 blu ray player. I've never seen a decent 3-D DVD player.

Hello, They should show the 2d graphics as 2d- there is not really a way to convert those. For true 3d games and the modeling programs, yes and no. For the modeling apps ( I use Rhinoceros) they may- But probably only with a plug-in or such. For the 3d games, again- yes and no. If it supports TRUE 3d (works by showing 2 separate images from a slightly different viewpoint) then definitely yes. If not, then it just depends on how you configure it. For apps like Word, minesweeper, solitaire, AIM or Photoshop, no. Not unless you find a way to view you monitor like described above. I hope this helps, Matthew

Yes. We have watched many 3D movies through this device. There may be an update that you have to do over the internet. Ours has worked great.

I have not used a native 3D movie - don't have a BlueRay player. But we have viewed streamed 3D movies simply by pressing the 3D/2D button on the remote. When it is pressed the first time a wizard leads you through setup. My family was less than impressed with the results. The glasses charge very quickly. Then they have to be linked (as in Bluetooth).

Yes this can be used in only 2D. I haven't tried the 3D yet, but i do use the 2D function every day and I couldn't be happier. Never buying a TV for the main viewing room again!

3D, but old school checkerboard 3D. You would need to get another 3D player of some type to be able to actually utilize 3D, like a Panasonic 3D blu-ray unit. The unit may experience a chip failure as the previous user said, but it is a fairly inexpensive repair and the picture is VERY good. I have seen some of these units advertised on craigslist for fairly low prices.
