Regarding 3D capability. 1 TV is 3D capable. 1 TV is not. If TV which is NOT 3D capable is powered OFF, will the TV which IS 3D capable show 3D?

I would say yes. I have 3 TVs connected to mine, 2 w/3d and 1 w/o. All 3 TVs function normally no matter which ones are on or off, even if all three are on at the same time.

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).

Yep, it's 3D ready I bought a pair of active glasses, but have only used them just once. Unless you're big into 3D, I'd say don't bother. The TV itself is great. Probably the best electronics purchase I ever made. Still as sharp as the first day I turned it on 3 years ago.

The 0/1 appears to indicate thin vs thick flat panels. The apparently indicates Smart TVs with internet access. I suspect the d indicates 3D capability. My model is the E420d-A0 and the model is the brightest TV I've seen. 3D is also great but there are only a few 3D broadcast channels.See http://www.amazon.com/differences-between-model-cheaper-E550i-A0/forum/Fx1ISP3G7RYG9Y5/Tx3P7DZR6J3JA8K/1?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B00BF9MY3Q&authToken;=e3684c83-b21c-435d-99d3-28f39d8774a9&cdEmailView;=A2XWWL7RYLOJWP&cdHideAnswers;=1&cdHideBuyBox;=1&cdShowAnswer;=1&ref;_=pe_527950_33920250 The 0/1 appears to indicate thin vs thick flat panels.

the tv itself asks when u wanna use 3d if it recognize a 3d source like a bluray or videogame. its very easy

That's technically true for all passive 3D tvs - the effect is achieved by splitting the image for left and right eyes, effectively cutting resolution in half. BUT although this is _technically_ correct, your brain combines the two lower res images together in your mind, creating both the 3D effect _and_ the perception you are viewing full 1080p. I have an active 3D set and have demo'd LG's passive 3D and honestly can't tell a difference. I don't think it would stop me from getting this TV, but the lack of local dimming would.

I bought this tv 2 month ago, but i can not watch 3d movies, every time i try experince 3d i'm receiving a message saying that " 3D EXPERIENCE REQUIRES ENABLED TV & PLAYER", So i'm woundering myself if the tv is really 3d tv or not?, how the tv needs to be setup so as to watch 3d movis?

If you have a 3d player hooked up to the unit then the 3d signal will be passed cleanly thru to the tv. Further its only useable with a tv with an arc hdmi input. The 3d player will detect that it is hooked up to the tv thru this audio return channel and then will display 3d. If you have an input set to [on the Sony] something other than the dvd player when first turned on then the 3d player will not detect 3d tv function and might give a no 3d tv detected code. Just make sure input on Sony is correct and trun dvd off and back on and it will then reset to dectect 3d tv.

You can view the pics on a standard TV but not on a 3D TV in 3D mode. The pictures will be in monochrome.

Yes, 3D mode is manually activated. You must view a 3D channel, choose 3D method (split screen, ect), and put on the glasses. You must switch back to 2D mode manually. Of course 2D is the default mode. If you never invoke 3D, you would not know you have a 3D TV.

We do not have a 3D tv. We get an amazing crisp picture on our Samsung LED tv.

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

this is from the instruction manual for my tv. 1 press menu 2 arrow to highlight the 3D icon and press ok 3 sellect the mode to match the content (sbs,tb,sensio) 4 tv should display 3d viewing mode enabled.

I don't see where that tv says it's 3D capable. So probably not.http://www.dicksmith.com.au/tvs/sony-50-127cm-full-high-definition-smart-led-tv-kdl50w700b-dsau-ge4018Says no 3D, sorry.

This tv works great in both 3d and non-3d mode. I love it. Feel free to get one!

There are active glasses and passive glasses. This TV has passive glasses (like the movie theater) they don't need batteries like active glasses. TV's require one or the other. The picture is very similar with both types. 1080p is the highest resolution you will get with 3D without paying 5000+. So this TV does have good 3D, I bought it brand new in 2011. The only complaint I have is the pixilation occurs once in a while. I paid 2700 for it brand new, so under a 1000, this TV is a good deal. 3D is the same since it came out, the 4k TV's with 3D are the exception and they are expensive. LED is better than plasma, but more expensive. The viewing angle (how far to the right or left) is good with this TV. There are active glasses and passive glasses.

I don't know which model that is. What you want to figure out is if the TV is Active 3D and if they sync through an IR signal. Not always the easiest thing to find in the manual. If you can get an electronic copy of your manual then do a search for IR.
