3D Televisions what happen to them? It seems like the manufactures drop the ball on 3D flat panel TV's, why?

This one has a 3D input. I own it and that's not what I bought it for. I just noticed it when hanging it on the wall the other day.

Not an expert, but I believe the refresh rate was increased to 120HZ to get better resolution to the screen. If you go to 3D, from what I see, is engineered to 240HZ, and show even better resolution. So, I think it's something that's engineered into TVs, and is reflected by the various pricing.

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

Id say get this tv before the price goes up. You will see a drastic increase in people buying 3D tv's. As they do the price will go up for a while. The 3D on this tv is Awesume.Id recommend this one.

I found the 3D depth effect to be good - just as good as any TV I've tried, or seen in the store. I watched an IMAX movie on it, plus saw parts of Avatar (for testing) before I returned the TV. From what I've seen, all 3D televisions are capable of producing equal depth effect... its more the differences in the movies that cause a perceived difference in depth or pop-out. The most impressed I ever was with the 3D pop-out on this Samsung TV was in the store where they were running a demo disc where a bunch of people were throwing food around. If course, you are unlikely to see such pop-out in a movie... at least not much of it, as it would probably become kinda hard to watch after a while.

Yes. Lemme say though. I'm a guy who likes cool gimmicks. 3D, isn't great. Not with ps3, or 4... Not with most movies. Headache, literal, and not something one often uses. I know more than a few folks in the same spot. I still have that TV. I also have a samsung led stripped out, not smart, but hd and under a grand. Costco selling them.

Hi Edwards, The 3D function works great on this TV without any issues. -Anthony

Is a great tv for it's price but I'm a huge fan of 3D and the passive format divides the resolution in one half for each eye. For a truly enjoyable experience get a tv with active shutter format. It's the closest to real 3d.

I wish I knew! We bought aftermarket glasses with no success. We are still stuck in the second dimension but really like the tv otherwise

That sounds strange to me. Mine does none of that as far as I can tell. Perhaps I'm not as perceptive as others. So I may be wrong. But when I play 3D movies or games and others are sharing the experience I've never had anyone complain, and they are all over the room at various angles. If mine were doing those things I would not be happy at all. I also own an LG passive 3D led television. It has none of those issues either. I hope that you can find some resolution. Good Luck.

3D ready is older technology, and it means that there's a plug in the back for 3D devices. New 3D TVs are going to be about $3,000-4,000 when they hit the market later this year so that's why I'm going with this older tech. There are some great articles online if you google "3D Ready" but from what I've seen, the TVs minimum refresh rate will be 120hz (twice as fast as we can see) and it will sync up with 3D glasses that alternate at the same frequency so each eye sees a different image. There's other information about a checkerboard pattern where every other pixel is displayed and it cuts down on the resolution. I'm still new at this so I'm still waiting for my TV to come in before I figure this out. As far as I know, even though 3D ready TVs were before the industry standard, they will still be supported by blu-ray and Sony. I asked Sony, but they haven't gotten back to me yet. update: There is one thing that I forgot. Because of the way 3D technology works, screen size is the biggest factor in depth. The bigger your 3D TV is, the better the effect will be.

Sony's simulated 3d is the 2d to 3d conversion. The conversion is OK. It gives a little depth to what your watching on the TV. Obviously the REAL 3d works a whole lot better.

Yes, you only switch to 3D when you have 3D content (unless you want to convert 2D content into 3D, which you can do too). The rest of the time the set behaves like a normal TV.

No, unfortunately not. It's a great TV otherwise and the 3D looks really good.

I picked mine up on sale at the local Best Buy for around $750 before tax... Cant help but think the price will go much lower as the 3D tv's are released and the price of LED tv's start to come down...

Ok I looked into it further and found it is NOT 3D. I had bought 2 32 inch tv's at different times and different models but neither are 3D.
