Yes it does require active 3d glasses. I am not sure if they have to be sharp brand or not. I bought 4 for about 40 a peice that have rechargable batteries.

Yes glasses must be active. I do not know if they have to be sharp. Tv is first class

!st answer is Yes thet are active rechargeable 3d glasses. I have Sharp glasses and they work great. I did see cheaper aftermarket glasses online but I didnt want to take a chance with a product that may not be as good. I suggest you get them from a store that you can return them to if your not satisfied. Good Luck!

Yes, it does. I bought the Sony brand AN-3DG30, which are good for 2D and 3D. They come with a cable with USB connection for recharging.

Yes, it does. I bought Sharp AN3DG20B 3D [active] Glasses with the TV. And they work great.

This TV requires active 3D glasses. They don't need to be Sharp. You need to check compatability on other brand's product website. Having said that, I bought the top of the line Sharp glasses and am very happy with them.

I haven't got any 3D glasses yet. I honestly don't have any idea yet. But, I like the TV and very satisfied with it. Thanks & good luck with your future purchase.

When i purchased it, It did not come with 3D Glasses. It did come with an RF transmitter for the 3D glasses. I've been using it as my primary TV now for about a year and have no regrets.

No. Your 3d glasses need to be pair with your TV this glasses are regular glasses like the ones you used in the Theaters.

3D ready but does need active glasses with a battery which is more expensive than the passive

Hi Edwards, The 3D function works great on this TV without any issues. -Anthony

I received four pair of glasses with the TV. You only need the glasses to view 3D programming, otherwise they aren't needed. The 3D is Awesome and works very well with the glasses.

Not really. You can set the tv to 3d while watching media shot in 2d and it will have a slight effect, but not anything great. It is more cumbersome to wear the glasses than the worth of the "3d" quality. This tv works best for media actually shot in 3d and even if it is 3d specific. I just watched the new Dr. Who ep shot in 3d ( downloaded 3d file -> ps3) which was side by side and was probably the best quality 3d viewing I've gotten out of the tv.

From Sony: (requires) "Two pair of SimulView active glasses NOTE: The 3D glasses used to watch 3D content on a 3D TV are not supported for use with the SimulView feature."

Hi James Honeycutt, This TV supports Passive 3D. The model number of the Passive 3D glass is TDG-500P. Thanks. &gt;Joffrey

Ahhh, the hazards of buying anything electronic. As soon as you get it home they come out with something better. It will take a while before 3D TV's and Blu-rays make a huge impact. The TV needs specific software/hardware in order to put the 3D image on the screen and be visible with the glasses.

Yep, it's 3D ready I bought a pair of active glasses, but have only used them just once. Unless you're big into 3D, I'd say don't bother. The TV itself is great. Probably the best electronics purchase I ever made. Still as sharp as the first day I turned it on 3 years ago.

No, a pair of 3D glasses cannot be used for any type of 3D source. Televisions use several types of 3D, including ACTIVE, and PASSIVE. The source to activate the glasses can also be very different, from IR (infrared) and RF (radio frequency) the glasses must be the right kind to work. The type used in movie theaters are PASSIVE.

It is not required. This thing is garbage.... it never worked or worked better than the built in 3d. Normally k n 3d tvs you can make any channel 3d. In this tvs case, you cannot. I would suggest passing on this device.

It has Passive 3d which means you don't need batteries for 3D glasses just like the movie theaters and can be used original Panasonic 3d glasses that came with this tv or if you have a spare movie theater 3D glasses from the movie theater you can also use them I tried both and both works perfect.

It is 3D capable. If you have a 3D capable blu-ray player and if you can actually find (they are rare) 3D blu-ray movies or special events OR if your cable, dish, or whatever provider you use offers a program in 3D then you will be able to watch it in 3D IF you also purchase 3D glasses. Otherwise you will never know the difference and the likelyhood of ever using it is practically nil. Technology is working on improving 3D for home use in TV's to be viewed without glasses but they say it is still a few years away. This tv being 3D should not influence your decision to buy unless you have a special need for 3D (rare). It is 3D capable.
