Yes, you do need a 3D TV in order to display the 3D content that comes out of the 3D-Bee. That may be the same reason you are not seeing 3D when you play your 3D Blu-ray player. 3D content is coming out of the device but is not being played or displayed on a screen that is capable of displaying 3D.

It's a 3D converter, so it really only functions with converting 2D images into 3D. Normally you would need a 3D tv if you wanted to convert a 3D image with 3D Bee, however I've stumbled upon an alternative that worked for me. If you want to have a 3D bee and not chunk out the additional cost of a 3DTV, and the alteration of color from red/cyan glasses simply use another tv converter that works for 3D images for 2D television. It worked for me!

yes you need to have a 3D tv for this to work the VEFXi-Bee only converts the movies and video file From 2D to 3D

I cannot answer this question, but I can say that the 3-D bee works great for me. What I do like is the way I can convert everything that is on my TV to 3-D. I especially enjoy watching sports in 3-D. Have not regretted my investment in the system I have. If I were to have any regrets it would be that I only had room for a 60" TV!

You do not need a 3D TV to use this player, but, understand, that you cannot watch 3D movies on this player and expect to see 3D on your TV.

I talked to Sony Support people and the problem is not the Blu-Ray. The player is working just fine, but since it is connected to a Home Theater, the receiver needs to be updated in order to play 3D movies. So, If some of you have a similar problem, Don't panic!!!, check the Blu-Ray firmware as well as the home theater.

you do need a 3D blu ray player in order to play in 3D. As far as the other question I use Windows OS.

To be brief - no this wont work well - on pretty much any tv. This converter only produces anaglyph 3d output, the one that requires the yellow and blue glasses. Yes you will get a 3d effect, but the image quality will be pretty bad, bordering unwatchable. I have tried this system twice, but failed to get any good result. I now run a 3d compatible projector system using a 3d blu ray player and a Viewsonic converter. This produces output for active 3d glasses. The 3d effect is great, the colour and quality is very good, the only negative is that the image is a bit dark. This is because I am using a relatively inexpensive projector.

Yes. the 3D will be Blue Magenta of the glasses that came with the Adaptsonic. But you could only convert the 2D Blu-rays and 2D DVDs to 3D. I don't think it will work with 3D Blu-Rays?

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 !!! I had a Panasonic Viera 1080p 2D ONLY and this was the main reason I did purchase the AdapSonic Converter (to see 3D in a TV beafore decided to buy one). You need a Player (bluray) that play 3D (need a 1.4 HDMI Cable). If TV is 2D only will play SBS and HOU formats only and convert regular 2D (like TV programs) but will never be like a real 3D sbs... Remember in the 3D world this one is the oldes system so will not be as colorful like in the movies or a real 3D TV but if you are in a budget an will like something to start I did recomended it push me to buy my new Passive 3D 65" LD TV. PS: if you have a 3D TV you do NOT need this Converter, IF you do NOT have a 3D TV then it is for you. YES !!!

Yes, I have played 3d movies on this Epson projector via a 3d Blueray DVD, and not a download (suggest you buy a 3d Blueray DVD movie and "Avatar" is supposed to be a good test of 3d capabilities). You first must charge the glasses and once that is done, you have to initialize them that using the button on the glasses themselves, when done correctly, will show same on the screen, something like "Glasses are ready to use." Then, using the remote control, press the 2D/3D button which is on the left in the 9th row from the top. That should get you a 3d picture although there are other adjustments you can make. REVIEW THE MANUAL FOR MORE INFORMATION. I cannot speak for downloads as I have never tried that myself. Also, don't forget, to play a 3d Blueray DVD, you must have a 3d DVD player!

It works great for both 3D and HD TVs. But, you will not be able to view a movie/game in 3D without a 3D TV. No 3D TV, No 3D

That's what I tried to do. Apparently it depends on the blu-Ray player whether it works or not. I would check with the manufacturer. I have a Sony player.

Hi Shaune Lewis,This was the kind of solution I was looking from a long time and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience thro' this post.I have a Sony BDP S-570 Bluray player which says it is 3D ready and a Viewsonic PJD 6531w 3D ready DLP projector...But I am not able to play a 3D bluray disc (christmas Carol 3D) with this setup from my Sony BD player... Could you please suggest the best option to bridge the gap b/w my Sony BD player BDP S570 and Viewsonic Projector PJD 6531w..?Thanks for your time in responding to the post...

did you find a way to get it to work, cuz when i asked samsung they said 3-d ready doesnt mean 3-d blu ray?--- i asked and thats what i got i want to get a 3d blu ray player and i already have the ir emitter and glasses that works through the computer but only with pics, small clips and games, and dvds-- but have to download a bunch of crap to make it work. let me know if the starter kit and player works?

3d blu ray is supposed to show up sometime around the end of 2010. its disappointing because i just bought this TV expecting to buy a ps3 so i could watch 3d blu ray, but i'm second guessing buying the ps3 just so i can watch 3d movies since spending 650 on a playstation for the console and blu ray player seems like a huge waste of money.

In order to run your components through it and still get 3d, yes. Without a similar receiver, you can still hook your 3d blueray or cable box directly to the tv. I caution you on this product, mine only worked for 7 months before it broke.

you will need a media player that can do blu-ray. There are some free ones out there; however, PowerDVD14 by cyberlink runs specials all the time and you can get it relatively inexpensive. I think I paid like 80 dollars for mine and it runs fantastic. The player itself (the item on amazon) is stupendous. I highly recommend it. You also need to make sure your resolution on your screen can handle hi-def. If you have an HDMI output more than likely you do, if not check and make sure your resolution is at least 1024 by 728 Good luck
