What kind of 3d glasses do I need for the 3d? Can I connect a 3D player directly (like the PS3)? How much does it weigh?

DLP Active Shutter glasses. I have had difficulty getting my PS3 to recognize it as a 3D device, but it works perfectly connected directly to my Toshiba 3D bluray player. Make sure you are using a newer HDMI cable which supports 3D. I got this projector to lose the scalar box that I needed for my previous projector and love it. It is the brightest projector for the money. I think its between 6 to 8 pounds.

it says DLP Active Shutter to use... i bought 2 SainSonic Rainbow Series 3D Active Rechargeable Shutter Glasses (Black and a Blue one) and i havent had a problem yet. when you go to enable 3d, in setting, on type of glasses it will go to DLP-Link but it has a setting to change it to IR, im assume its for IR emiiter glasses. but i cant tell if those glasses will work, only SainSonic

From my understanding, the projector has 2 HDMI 1.3 inputs so it does not read 3d player. The 3d feature is controlled within the projector. The projector is fairly light... maybe 2#.

you can use standard 3d glasses or 3d glasses with built in Emitters.yes you can use a ps3 with this projector. The projector is very light it probably only weighs about 5 pounds.

From Sony: (requires) "Two pair of SimulView active glasses NOTE: The 3D glasses used to watch 3D content on a 3D TV are not supported for use with the SimulView feature."

3D ready but does need active glasses with a battery which is more expensive than the passive

It is 3D capable. If you have a 3D capable blu-ray player and if you can actually find (they are rare) 3D blu-ray movies or special events OR if your cable, dish, or whatever provider you use offers a program in 3D then you will be able to watch it in 3D IF you also purchase 3D glasses. Otherwise you will never know the difference and the likelyhood of ever using it is practically nil. Technology is working on improving 3D for home use in TV's to be viewed without glasses but they say it is still a few years away. This tv being 3D should not influence your decision to buy unless you have a special need for 3D (rare).

I did correspond with a person at Dimensional Optics and they were great to deal with! We ended up buying the glasses and have used them with success. Now if only we can figure out how to watch actual 3D discs through the Playstation, not just 2D --> 3D. We are happy with them though - definitely as good as the Samsung ones we tried.

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).

True Depth 3d glasses seem to be the best around. Essentially, any glasses with dlp-link can be used, but I have yet to have any issues with this company and their product. http://www.amazon.com/True-Depth-Rechargeable-3D-SteadySync/dp/B0053T5QPW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1382426032&sr=8-2&keywords=true+depth+3d

Yes. The TV is 3D Ready; you still need the transmitter and the glasses to actually watch in 3D.

No. I was hoping the 3d blu ray would come with the glasses but haven't found one that does. I've heard you can get the PS3 system which plays the 3D and it comes with the glasses.

Any update on this? I'm looking to buy this unit too but want to be able to watch 3D movies on it.

The unit does not have 3d. But the picture is nice and the set is very thin and light. At 500 bucks it's worth it.

Most 3d tv's from 2012 onward share the same glasses tech. I think Sony is the only company still using proprietary glasses. I personally bought the Samsung SSG4100GB glasses, and they work fine on my Panasonic DT50. If you have any type of light in the room other than the tv, it will distract you from the side as these glasses are open design and do not wrap around on the sides, but how can you complain when they are under $20 each.

the kind of 3d glasses you need is dependent on the type of 3D tv you have not on this 3d converter.

I could not tell you because I don't know the type of glasses sony uses. What I can tell you they are a hard plastic lens and a sturdy frame. They also cut the glare and reflections from around the environment. Best pair of 3D glasses I have used, they don't even feel like you are wearing them at all. Feel free to ask questions and I will help out the best I can and if not hope this helped

My TV did not have its own 3D glasses but the TV is 3D compatible. I would think there should not be any problem.

You do need specific glasses. You need to buy the: TY-ER3D4MU GLASSES. They are not cheap the the 3D is Great!

The 3D enhance of regular 3D is not good. No, you will need to buy 3D glasses to make your TV a 3D TV. The price of the unit is too high because of the 4K conversion.The controller for the LG player is really bad, hard to control and freezes. If you do not have a 4K capable TV is not worth it. If you want a regular 3D Bluray Player get the Samsung BD-H5900 3D Blu-Ray Disc Player. It has a web browser and allow you to connect a wireless mouse or keyboard to surf the web.
