Is 3D a function on this TV or is it 3D all the time? I am not interested in watching 3D tV all the time.

Jane M., Most people want 3-D for certain movies or just specific times. You definitely do NOT have to watch 3-D all the time. This will support regular 2-D programming just like you'd normally get from any other television, but it will enable 3-D features when you want the panel to display in 3-D. Totally your choice when that happens. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

My answer is yes if the cable provider plays the 3D program and you guy turn on the 3D function. Yesterday I watched 3D movie from the cable provider and I turn on the 3D function and It was great but we don't really like the 3D movie much.

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.

To answer your question, it's HD and I don't think there are any TVs out there that are 3D all the time.

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

I don't utilize my tv to surf the net. And yes it has 2D to 3D conversion "simulation". All around love the tv.

It's not 3D and no way to make it capable. To see in 3D, there must be two different viewpoints sent to your two different eyes. A standard HDTV does not have the required display technology, processing, and inputs to send those two different viewpoints to your eyes.

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.

Only if u watch a good amount of 3d programing, ie movies or games not much broadcasting 3d available, i own two 3d sets but only because i wanted the 240 hz, which does make a difference to me, if i could of found a set with the 240 hz and no 3d for less i would of chose it, 3d is just a gimmick to me in my opinion.....

Yes absolutely! It gives an excellent picture in any format that you choose! It really is an excellent TV all round! It is a great purchase. If you're not interested in the 3D option it is a waste of money. But if you want it, it is worth it for sure IMHO.

Yes. I enjoy it - but have had it for a few years now and I have never used the 3d feature.

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

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.

I actually didn't buy this TV for the 3D, but we really enjoy it. No problem with the passive glasses. We see a lot of movies in 3D at the theatre, and the 3D on this TV definitely rivals it.
