do you need 3d glasses to watch 3d content on this sony tv, and how much are they
266600
Yes, you need 3D glasses to watch 3D content on this tv. 4 pairs of passive 3D glasses are included with the tv. SimulView gaming 3D glasses are optional and can be purchased separately.

Yes also remember you will need a 3D capable blu-ray player, 3D capable HDMI cables and if your passing everything through a receiver you'll need a 3d capable receiver.

They probably figured since you would have to get a 3D Blu-ray player, and 3D movies, you would be able to afford the glasses too. It would have been nice for them to include a pair, but you can watch regular TV and Blu-rays just fine. I'm thinking of getting this one; if I do, I'll wait until 3D glasses are more affordable to get them.

Thank you for your question. It does require a 3DTV and the 3D glasses for the TV.

The Mitsubishi adapter, and a source is all you need yes, and the glasses of course, you will have to go into the tv settings and configure the 3D options correctly once you hook up a source, a source could be a PS3, or 3D blu-ray player.

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).

The new models coming out will still require glasses but they will be passive. If I'm not mistaken, they should be the XVT3DXX5SP and XVT3DXX6SP series. Passive 3D provides its own set of pros and cons: Pros : a set of passive 3D glasses should only cost around $10 each compared to the $100 active sets. They should be lighter too. Cons : You won't see true HD 3D content. Due to the way the passive 3D works you will see half of 1080 to each eye, effectively seeing only 540 lines of resolution. For 2D you will see 1080 though.

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.

After looking at the sears 3d accessory bundle (normally $399, just making sure I was looking at the right thing) it looks like the only thing included in there are the transmitter, 2 pairs of glasses, and a DVD. So yes, you will need a 3D player of some sort. On the bright side though your PS3 will work. YOu just have to update the firmware if you haven't in a while.

No, however, you can find lists of universal 3D compatible devices on line, You should also be able to check out which 3D glasses are compatible with your viewing devices to help you narrow down your choices. Hope that helps.

To tell the truth, I'm not that concerned with 3D. I did plan on trying it out, but since I ended up buying a TV that doesn't come with them, I'm probably not going to buy any. I know AVSforum.com has a thread specifically for this TV and many people say a lot of the Samsung ones are compatible and work well. The Panasonic glasses are only $30 a piece now, I know that. Sorry I couldn't be of much help, but I would definitely check out AVS.

Hi there. I still haven't opened it becuase I moved abroad and the TV is now in a container somewhere. It is supposed to come with 3d glasses...

It's my understanding that the TV has to support 3D technology. Hope this helps.

From Sony: (requires) "Two pair of SimulView active glassesNOTE: The 3D glasses used to watch 3D content on a 3D TV are not supported for use with the SimulView feature."

When i purchased it, It did not come with 3D Glasses. It did come with an RF transmitter for the 3D glasses. I've been using it as my primary TV now for about a year and have no regrets.

The tv comes w/ 4 LG passive 3-D glasses. Any additional 3-D glasses have to be passive. Brand is unimportant...Amazon does offer a wide selection

I just bought one. No glasses were included. Which, considering the price of this tv, they really should have included a couple, in my opinion.
