Is this projector 3D only or can it also be used as 2D?

It is ready to go 3D out of the box with DLP Link active shutter glasses. It's cheaper than getting an IR transmitter. I've tried it on Blu-ray and streaming with Netflix and Vudu 3D.To answer the original question, it looks great in super HD (1080p) on my big screen (175")in native 2D, no glasses necessary. Tried both blu ray disks and Netflix streaming

The projector is mainly 2D, it is what they call "3D ready" you will need accessories in order to view 3D. Once you have the accessories, you will be able to watch either, you can switch back and forth. What you'll need for 3D:3D converter box3D sync out RF emitter Glasses.

It is primarily a 2D projector, to make it 3D you have to buy a separate 3D-RF Emitter and the corresponding #D glasses.

You will have to buy their RF glasses (about 100 buck each) OR you could get a Dimensional Optics 3ACTIVE IR Emitter (25$) and buy IR glasses ( I recommend the Sony Playstation glasses, they are CHEAP CHEAP and super comfortable!). I have that setup and it works perfect (you can get PS glasses refurbished for about 6-10 bucks each!)

To get 3D movies, I think you need another attachment/filter. It's default is 2D.

like the other answer says, no the 3010 does not have 2d to 3d on the fly, however it can be done. My protector is connected to a PC with PowerDVD 12, which can change 2d to 3d. However, it doesn't look very good. True 3d is so much better.

Sorry, I didn't have time to test it this week, still no answer. But I am pretty sure it supports 3D, I can test it this week if you still need it.

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.

I have not used the 3d feature, but projector is good. I am using for a golf simulator, so not on the best screen, but picture looks good.

Tv can be used in both 2d and 3d mode. This can be used for not only 3d games and movies it will convert regular tv to 3d

Yes it can be viewed in 2D. We too didn't care about the 3D feature. We love the tv, no complaints

the panel has a 3D enable option along with the ability to adjust the scene depth to add more 3D effect. However, I do recommend getting software. I am using a radeon 6850 so I bought tridef 3D software and use that with AMD hdmi 1.4 3D out and I must say the software gives better quality but of course with some sacrifice of performance.

No. .. The processor only helps to recognize the 3D bluray, not convert 2D to 3D image .

No this does not have 3d. I would not recommend these models as they have short bulb life . Maybe its a heating issue.I noticed the 3020 or 5030 which supports 3D now has vents both sides of the bulb, no idea if this would help as I don't have this make. Regarding the importance of 3D that is a personnel choice if you want to buy blue-ray 3D films to watch. If you do then you need a 3D projector if you don't then obviously there is no need. Note the models I mentioned include Two RF 3D glasses. Which you need to use to watch 3D . Hope this helps.

The input/output configuration is fine and will definitely work. As for 2D/3D, you have to understand that it's an optical trick. A neat one, but a trick nonetheless. And, unless your video projector is a 3D projector (is there even such a thing?) it won't work of course. The conversion only works if on there's a 3D capable display on the output.

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.

There is nothing in the manual about 3D so I assume there is no 3D capability. Keep in mind this is a fairly inexpensive unit.

Hi, this only used for viewing 2D source in bad 3D content. Would not recommend. I buy "3D Video Wizard Console" to see from my bluray 3D content on 2D Tv is much better. I recommend "3D Video Wizard Console"...!!!

This isn't a 'Smart Tv box' or similar. It takes an HD video signal from whatever source and outputs it to your 2D TV or projector enabling you to watch in 3D. Both Side-by-side or Anaglyph red/cyan type.

Yes, 2D can be watched on this set-in fact, its the principle reason I bought mine-not for the 3D but the 2D picture. A TV needs more processing power to handle 3D which also improves the 2D experience. That said, this set will also upscale ANY 2D picture to 3D. which I have found to be a good thing. The worst thing about this set is its remote. I would much prefer an "old style" remote as opposed to the touch screen, voice recognition, etc. It simply doesn't work as well.
