3D TV Buying Guide Basics

If you want 3D TV in your home, you will need the following products to get set up...
1. A 3D-Ready TV.
If you want to enjoy 3D entertainment at home, you need a new 3D-ready TV.
2. One Pair of 3D Glasses per viewing person.
As of right now, you need 3D glasses to enjoy 3D Entertainment at homes. While there has been some research and development done, there are no 3D TV's available for purchase that do not require glasses.
3. A 3D-ready Blu-ray Player
If you plan to watch 3D Blu-ray discs (the only option for home movies as of now), you will need a 3D-ready Blu-ray player. The Playstation 3 will have the ability to play 3D Blu-rays after a summer 2010 firmware update.
4. HDMI 1.4 Cables (13.8 Gbps or higher Speed Rating)
You need "high-speed" Hdmi Cables that are rated as 1.3 and have a 10.2 Gbps speed rating or higher. 3D content requires twice as much data to be transferred to your TV to deliver 3D images, thus the need for higher-speed HDMI cables.
Note: Some sources have stated that HDMI cables rated as 1.4 with a 13.8 Gbps speed rating are required to watch full quality 3D content. From our research and experience, 13.8 Gbps Hdmi Cables are not required, and the lower speed 10.2 Gbps HDMI cables will suffice.
5. A Home Theater Receiver with 3D Pass-Thru Technology.
Most 3D TVs only have 4 HDMI Inputs which will limit the number of components you can connect to your 3D TV. If you need more than 4 HDMI inputs, you will need a home theater receiver with 3D Pass-Thru Technology. Old home theater receivers (without 3D Pass-Thru) will not work be compatible with 3D content/components.
6. 3D Content!!
Movies, video games, or 3D TV Channels.
There are already Home Movies, Video Games, and TV channels available in 3D with plans for more and more content to be released in 2010 and 2011. Check out our Content Guides below or with your local cable/satellite provider for more info.
