Balaji · Accepted Answer

3D is an Option to switch, 2D is always default to view and use

Brandon · Answer

It has 3D functionality, but you have to be watching a 3D movie for it to kick in. Other normal things are in normal 2D

Yes, this will display regular 2D content when viewed without the 3D glasses.

Rajat · Answer

Yes, you certainly CAN watch 2D (normal) content as you would expect in any normal TV.

3D content displays as two images on TV - left-right or top-down. The glasses combine the images for your eyes and show you the 3D picture.
There is a setting to enable or disable 3D, and choose which setting to choose (up-down or left-right).

If you set TV to 3D and content is 2D, images will look mixed-up. If you have 3D movie and set TV to 3D but not use glasses, you will see two images.

If you have 2D content (99% of the movies and shows today are 2D), and you don't enable 3D setting on TV, and don't use glasses, you will see beautiful 2D picture as you would expect from a high-quality HDTV from Sony. I love this TV.

No, 2d looks great but you should definitely try the 3d. It's simply amazing. But the xpand glasses for them.

Hi Louis, Yes, you can still view images in 2D. The TV is just capable of displaying a 3D content. Thanks! ^Ron
