Does the Avatar 3D BD have a 2D version of the movie too? Can you watch this on a regular 2D Blu-ray player and HDTV if you don't have 3D components yet?

The Panasonic TY-EW3D2MMK2 Ultimate 3D Starter Kit (Avatar 3D + 2 Rechargeable Glasses) will only work on Panasonic 3D HDTV's. Not on a Samsung 3D HDTV and not on a Sony 3D HDTV. You would need to buy the 3D starter kit for either your Samsung 3D HDTV or for your Sony 3D HDTV(and of course you get whatever 3D movie they are offering with the deal), The 3D glasses in these kits are designed to work ONLY with that particular brand of TV.It's a bad situation for consumers because right now the Avatar 3D movie can only be bought on eBay or craigslist.

The first movie I played, as soon as I got the set, was Avatar. Not the bluray vbersion, just the plain DVD version. Yes, it was fantastic. On most TV shows and nearly all movies, this set made me realize I got the right TV. This set has a gorgeous screen.

I looked all over and I can't seem to find an answer to this question, either. I did read a review on a website called digitaltrends, though. They said there was a lot of motion blur in fast-paced movie scenes, which isn't reassuring. I wonder if there is a "game mode" like some hdtv's have? :/

You do not need a 3D TV except to watch 3D DVD's. If your going to get a 3D TV later buy this, otherwise you can get a cheaper Blu-Ray player.

I've been told it does not work with 3D. I'm presuming the reason Sony is dropping the price now is that a new version is coming out that fixes the gracenote problems (hard to deal with discs that are not on gracenote) AND the next version will be 3D capable. This is strictly a guess, but every other Sony Bluray player is now 3D capable except this one. And since all the 3D movies aren't coming out unitl later this fall... I should just go and put in a 3D movie and see though. Sony's support on this player does seem to be a bit weak.

Since 3D Blu-ray information, is just digital information, the answer is YES. The Blu-ray Burner sees no difference between 2D and 3D digital information, and will burn both just as easily.

not alot of content on Blu-Ray 3d yet any way. Firmware for PS3 3d for Blu-Ray is scheduled to release in september...so soon...In the mean time you can play games in 3d. There are demos on the PSN. Patience

Panasonic TY-ER3D4MU. I have only watched Avatar in 3D and it looked great. You have to remember to turn them off after movie so they stay charged. Goof luck

Under settings has an option to change the TV to 3D if it isn't already detected by a 3D Blu-ray player which would automatically change the input to 3D and would give you an onscreen message, letting you know it's now showing in 3D. As far as I know, most digital downloads don't have 3D movies to rent or purchase. Hope this helped.

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?

This TV functions like a non-3D television for the most part and all non-3D media plays normally. The 2D-to-3D feature is an option you would select from the menu if you choose to. However, real 3D content such as 3D videos will appear distorted if 3D viewing option is not selected.

Someday hopefully. But on ps3 I think it may only be 720p 3D. ps4 may be even better 1080p 3D. So how does it look in 3D?

Watched 3D movies on demand from Comcast Cable. Pop out is good depth is reasonable, but to really judge it, I think I would need to watch a movie I had previously seen in the movies in 3D like Avatar. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. Sorry if this is only minimally helpful, but I can tell you that the pop out effects were as good as I remember in theaters in general, albeit on a much smaller screen.

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

You should be able to play regular blue ray or dvd's, but a 3d tv is required if you want to play 3d dvd's. (Though you may be able to use the 3d dvd's, but it will not be able to play in 3d mode.)

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?
