3D - 2

Can I watch 3d movies on demand fios with a normal flatscreen and 3d glasses?

I have a normal HDTV but it's not 3d. I have verizon fios and they have some 3d movies on there and I wanted to try it out but it says I need a 3d tv. Has anyone done this with a normal tv and some glasses???

1. No. 3D involves two discrete images, one for each eye. A conventional 2D TV cannot do that.
2. 3D TVs are specially designed to be able to display 3D content, you cannot watch 3D VOD with a 'normal' HDTV. You'll also need 3D glasses to go with the TV (no glasses models are not yet available - except for a couple of models in Japan only - but some prototypes have been demonstrated so they might not be far off). Apart from VOD and other content from 3DTV channels, you'll also need a 3D Blu Ray player if you want to watch movies on Blu Ray disc.
