I have a Samsung LED TV. Just recently you may know that 3D enabled TV's have just started rolling out. I remember reading somewhere that Blu-ray players (and PS3's) would just need an update to become 3D enabled, and that all Samsung LED TV's have the capability of playing 3D content.
Now this may seem like a dumb question seeing how a new line of 3D TV's are coming out, but I was wondering if it's possible for older Samsung LED TV's to play 3D content? I mean the concept of a blu-ray dvd [b]playing[/b] something in 3D seems kind of weird not to work on a regular LED TV.
I don't see how a regular samsung LED TV couldn't play what looks like what you see when you watch a 3D movie [I]without [/I]glasses.
For example if any of you saw Avatar, and might taken your glasses off during that movie you would have noticed that there were 2 skewed images on the screen. My question is exactly that. Can a regular samsung LED TV not output an image like that?
I think there may be a 3d video format that only the newer ones will be able to display. Like, it's not hdmi anymore. I can only assume this because 3D uses two images and hdmi only conveys one, but I really don't know.
If the hardware just gets a software update and the video format remains the same then I don't see why not unless they are into another easy money making scheme to force the user into an upgrade.
Personally, I don't care about 3D.

I can see this being a likely solution. The reason why I was pondering about this is because for one [URL="http://gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/04/02/killzone-2-going-3d.aspx"]Killzone 2[/URL] is getting an update to enable 3D which seem awesome, and 3D blu ray movies if they do come out would be fun to watch. I spent lots of money on that TV, and it would just be cool to have that option.
Being able to output stereoscopic images has something to do with the refresh rate of the screen.
If the older generation TVs don't meet that requirement then it won't be able to display 3D.
If your TV supports a 120Hz refresh rate then yes, it will be able to play 3D content.

Sweet, I know mine was around 240 or something like that. It said that in the buyers manual.

Even with just 1 image being sent out, you can still do what I call a hackjob (Cause it's ass compared to the real deal) and run half the frames coming in as the one image, and the other half of frames as the image giving the 3D effect.
If a TV supports 60Hz it'll support the [I]bad[/I] 3D, the one that doesn't really work, and isn't really as good.
If it supports +100Hz, it'll be able to do the [I]good[/I] 3D effect, where your eyes aren't struggling as much to focus on the 3D effects, rather than just a blurr.
I've done the 3D shutter glasses thing on 75Hz for years.
For what it's worth, Imax 3D film is shown at 48FPS, 24FPS Per Eye.... 24Hz....

Yes but film is shot with natural motion blur, video games are not.
