I have never bought a 3d tv and don't intend to use the 3d capability. Can I watch this tv without the 3d glasses and see the screen "normally"?

Yes, the 3D function has to be enabled and only works with 3D programming. By default, the tv will be in "normal" mode.

John, Yes, of course. BTW the Panasonic is a fantastic TV and the picture is the best you can find for movies and for other HD programing. I have only on occasion watched 3d programing and/or movies. It's fun but the glasses take a bit to get use to. Denis

yes you can, If you want a vivid color on the screen you will need to go to menu setup and choose vivid in the picture selection for each input you use, such as TV, DVR player, wireless connection, otherwise Standard is the default, and has a darker picture also change power selection to normal, default is energy savings that also darkens the picture, The first time I turn my set on I was disappointed in the picture (dark), I went in to menu set-up for picture, and sound settings what a difference it made WOW!

That depends on the size of the screen and your eyesight. If you wear glasses, you can see the tv through the prism glasses from the same distance you use your glasses. When you watch tv without glasses, the distance with the prism glasses without you prescription lenses would be the same as the same as the distance you would watch the tv regularly without your glasses.

Not firsthand but I read a lot of reviews on 3D capable TV's and the prevalent opinion of those who have purchased such 3D TVs is that the feature improves the picture and is not high in cost. I bought my TV just a few days ago and may be able to give you a better answer soon. Hopefulskeptic

I dont BELIEVE so, since this tv is of somewhat older technology. It doesn't come built with 3d software and I don't know if some kind of add on to make a regular HDTV 3d capable even exists. I believe also that the screen has something to do with it.

You can use in 2d and show anything unless its formatted for 3d. It shows normal hd channels in great picture do not need glasses unless you choose to upscale to 3d

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 -&gt; ps3) which was side by side and was probably the best quality 3d viewing I've gotten out of the tv.

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.

Not completely sure. I hardly have used the 3D feature. I don't remember any switching and I believe I don't have a simulated 3D. I know my other Sony TV does have that feature.

No. I don't use the 3d option. This television is worth every penny! I don't have an HD box and the picture is still crystal.

Your B-I-L is absolutely, positively wrong. 2D TV will work as they would normally. You will need glasses only if you watch 3D programming or chose to watch 2D using Stereoscopic 3D (an option of some 3d capable tvs). I have a Pany TC p54vt25 and 2D is one of the best I have ever seen (w/o glasses).

Thank you so much Hassan for taking the time to answer my question. This TV you can watch 3D while another person can watch in 2D wearing glasses. It comes with 2 pair. Again, thank you.

Yes Jeff...this was one of the factors that made me go with this model. It comes with 2 pair of the higher end ( incl Batteries ) 3D glasses. The TV also has the ability to turn non 3D programs into 3D. Have not really played with that feature too much but it is there. Hope this helped.

Yes you can. Simply hook it up via hdmi and set your tv to display 3d and off you go.

Yes. I enjoy it - but have had it for a few years now and I have never used the 3d feature.

If you have a 3d DVD player and a 3d capable projector you would beable to watch a 3d movie. Of course you would have to wear compatible 3d glasses to view the movie.

Hi Mariana. Yes, I own this tv and it does convert 2d to 3d with the supplied glasses. 4 are included with the tv.

Yes, you need 3D glasses to watch 3D content on this tv. 4 pairs of passive 3D glasses are included with the tv. SimulView gaming 3D glasses are optional and can be purchased separately.
