Is 3D an optional setting? Like is there a button to turn it off/on? I'd want the option to not have it on all the time. Thanks!

Yes - only certain programming is 3D. You can choose whether or not to view those channels.

Yes. You have the options of watching 2D movies in 3D. You can also select to watch 3D in 2D, but that wouldn't look very good. You'd either have a split screen with two images, or a single screen with a fuzzy image, I believe.

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.

This is the hardest TV I have ever had problems with settings. Lot of this is preference but this this is what I have with dishnetwork 2D (tv service will make a difference). Picture Mode standard user, Blacklight 100, Contrast 80, Brightness 30, Sharpness 15, Color 50, Tint G21, Color Temp C50, Advance Control- Dyanamic Contrast high, Dyanamic color High, Super Resolution Medium, Gamma Low. I have not messed with 3D which is different. at least this will give you a start. Hope it helps.

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

Try pressing the button on the emitter. It switches the 3D mode to Normal or Reverse. You can also access that in the menu.

Under settings, go into "Picture and Display", then select "3d Settings". Turn on "3d display" and then select the "Simulated 3d" option.I can't comment on good the effect is as I am still waiting on my 3d glasses to come in. Supposedly the best glasses are the PlayStation branded glasses.

Previous answer indicates it can be turned off. I find it's pretty dim, and isn't a distraction for me.

I wouldn't suggest using gaming mode. It greatly diminishes the picture quality, and for some games it butchers the colors. I would simply turn off Auto Motion Plus and you should be fine. I currently don't have AMP turned on for any of my sources, as it's benefits don't outweigh it's flaws. I am using a PS3 and I play dark souls, drakes 3, elder scrolls, etc and they all allow for fast reaction time.

Not completely sure. I hardly have used the 3D feature. I don't remember any switching and I believe I don't have a simulated 3D. I know my other Sony TV does have that feature.

actually this model has one of every connector to make sure that no one turned it on pissed ))) also it has 3 hdmi ports which are nicely spaced apart so they could call one a 3d port ))))

Good question, however, I have never tried a 3d movie on it. Hopefully, you can find somebody who has.

It is a choice on the menu. You have either normal mode or turn on motion mode.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Now, we are forced to buy a new receiver due to 3D capabilities. It is quite annoying...Regards

No surfing but instant connections to netflix hulu etc are great. There is no such thing as 2d to 3d conversion. Lack of 3d programming and movies makes this a feature for the future but overall best picture ive ever seen and i upgrade every year!

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.

Yes. It has 1 Component Out. This wasn't asked. I thought I'd add that, in order to view 3D, you have to use the HDMI Output
