What happened to 3D TV?

Fewer and fewer 3D TVs were sold and soon TV manufacturers stopped making them. Vizio stopped production in 2014 and was followed by others. In January 2017, the last two major television manufacturers still producing 3D televisions, Sony and LG, announced they would stop all 3D support.

How can I watch 3D TV?

You need a 3D TV or video projector, a 3D-enabled Blu-ray Disc player, and some 3D-compatible Blu-ray discs. If you want to watch 3D content via HD cable or satellite, you need a 3D-compatible box and a subscription to 3D channels. You need to wear glasses to watch 3D. However, these aren’t the cheap paper glasses.

Does a 4K TV play 3D?

4K UHD TV has four times the resolution of Full HD (1080p) TV. If in the future, 4K UHD 3D movies are produced, then you can play 4K 3D movies on big screen 4K TV which will deliver an authentic 4K 3D movie image quality not possible with a common 3D HDTV.

Is my LG TV 3D capable?

LG and Sony, the last two major TV makers to support the 3D feature in their TVs, will stop doing so in 2017.

Is a 4K TV 3D?

To be honest, 4K 3D movies don’t exist at present and there’s no mention that any 3D movie is in Ultra HD resolution. Most 3D movies showed in theaters now are in 2K (Full HD 1080p), even the Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens movie you saw in IMAX 3D from 4K projectors is upconverted from 2K.
