Hi i have recently purchased a samsung series 4 3dtv
And have a standard sony blu-ray player
And was wondering would this play 3D blu-rays or would i need a dedicated 3D blu-ray player
Thanks

You need a 3D BD player to play 3D.

Thanks nigel
Problem solved

also depends if the tv has a 2D to 3D conversion, but no to playing actual 3D movies

Doesn't depend on that really.
Many 3D Bluray releases have the 3D and 2D versions on separate discs and if you try to play the 3D version on a non 3D player the disc won't play beyond a notice telling you why.

He might need to change his HDMI lead too depending on if its 1.4 or not.

So even if the tv has 2d to 3d the disc won't always play on a non 3D player

Or a PlayStation3.

(i know a couple of people that were about to buy a dedicated 3D Blu-ray player, not realising that the PS3 they already had under their TV was capable of the job)
