Of course.

All 3D TVs allow you to watch 'normal' 2D images as well. In fact the 2D quality is exceptionally good on the majority of 3D TVs.

Are there enough 3D contents to watch if you buy a 3D TV?

Number of 3D contents is increasing as 3D TV becomes more popular but it's true that there could be more. Some 3D TVs have 2D to 3D conversion feature which lets you watch any 2D content in 3D.


Does 3d tv only play in 3d?

No, unless you don't watch Direct TV or have 2D to 3D Conversion TV. However, not all the 3D TVs are capable of converting 2D to 3D. Therefore, answer is Yes and No. You will be able to watch TV channels in 3D on 3D TVs like LG but not on such like a Vizio because they don't support 2D to 3D conversion. So check the spec whether there are this feature in the TV before you buy it if you want to watch TV channels like Oprah, American Idol, NFL in 3D. Plus, this conversion feature convert not only TV channels but anything on TV meaning you will be able to watch literaily any contents even downloaded movie from internet, on 3D. I read ESPN and Discovery Channel in 3D are available for 24/7.


Do you have to watch everything in 3D on your 3D TV?

3D TV is capable of showing both 2D and 3D images so you can always switch between 2D and 3D. You just need to turn on the 3D mode when watching 3D movies or 3D filmed TV programs that streams from cable/satelite. Then switch to 2D mode when watching regular 2D programs, and it goes the same when you playing video games too. There is however a feature called 2D to 3D conversion, which I thought very very cool. This feature lets you change ANY 2D content into 3D, and with this feature ANY kind of movies, show programs, even a Youtube video on the web can be shown in 3D. Then you will be able to watch everything in 3D. However, this feature is not included in every 3D TV, so check the TV's specification before you buy if you want this feature. The real good news is that because of the high specifications of most 3D TVs, they also deliver exceptionally high quality 2D images as well.


Do you have to wear the glasses all the time when using a 3D TV?

When you are using your TV in 2D mode like net surfing or watching content in 2D, then you don't need 3D glasses. When you watch 3D content then of course you have to wear 3D glasses.


Are 3D glasses required to watch 3D TVs?

Currently, all commercial 3D televisions require glasses. There are some concept models that do not require glasses but they are not in full production and are not considered to be market ready at present. The future of 3D will be heading towards viewing without glasses but there is a way to go before we will see the televisions in the stores.


Can you watch 3D blu ray movies on a regular lcd tv?

That depends on the kind of 3D TV you have. If your 3D TV has a 2D to 3D conversion feature than yes, you can watch any 2D program in 3D. LG makes good 3D TVs that are affordable and have 2d to 3d conversion feature (other cheaper makers don't have that feature included). I have a LW6500 model (Cinema 3D line) from LG and 3D-converted images look great.


Is there any way you can watch regular contents in 3D If not what is the largest 3D database?

Some televisions have a 2D to 3D conversion facility. It simulates 3D from 2D content and despite claims from LG, it is NOT as good as genuine 3D content. If it was that good, production companies wouldn't be generating 3D content, they would just be using LG televisions! Treat any 3D simulation feature as a bit of bonus. It is never a real substitute for genuine content.


Do you have to use the 3d in a 3d tv or can you use 2d?

no you do not have to use the 3D in your 3D tv. its always on 2D unless you play a 3D movie and put it on 3D.


Is television a 2D shape or 3D shape?

A television set is a 3D shape. The image (picture) on the television screen is a 2D shape. 3D is when it has length, width, and height. 2D is only length and width.


Which 3D TVs have 2D to 3D conversion features and which one of them is the best?

Both Samsung and LG 3D TVS have 2D to 3D conversion features.


Are the glasses necessary for a 3D TV. What is 2D to 3D conversion?

3D TV glasses are necessary to watch your 3D TV. There are some people saying glasses free 3D TV will be available next year, but that is not true. There is only a prototype model available in small sizes and it needs improvement, so glasses free 3D TV won't be possible for many years down the road. There are some 3D TVs that can turn normal channels into 3D and this technology is called 2D to 3D conversion. If you want this feature you have to check whether the TV has this feature or not. If you are going to play games, there are some 3D games available but if not you can always use this 2D to 3D conversion and switch the 2D images to 3D. Because this 2D to 3D conversion feature can convert anything it even turns low quality videos or flash downloaded from the web into a 3D. However, watching regular 2D contents into 3D is different from watching 3D contents that were originally filmed in 3D. It's a different technology so I highly recommend you to buy a 3D blu-ray player and a cable/satelite if you can.


Are there enough 3D contents to watch on a 3D TV?

More and more movies are being made in 3D now and YouTube also has 3D contents available now. Some 3D TVs have 2D to 3D conversion that allows you to watch basically anything in 3D (sports, any 2D movie, discovery channel, etc). The quality is quite good. There's also a lot of growth in devices that let you create your own 3D content. Camcorders and video binoculars are good examples. With both of these you can watch your own content on your 3D TV.
