Question: Can I Watch Regular High Definition 2D on a 3D TV?
Answer: Yes, 3D TVs will have the ability to display standard high defintion 2D images, just as all HDTVs do now.
In addition, Samsung, Toshiba, and others have demonstrated technology that allows a 3D TV to convert 2D images to 3D in real time. Although this is not the same as watching 3D-produced content, the real time conversion does add depth to an ordinary 2D image. I found that live or taped sports showed off this process the best. In 2D mode, the TVs demonstrated support up to 240Hz motion processing, and up to 120Hz screen refresh rate for each eye when running in 3D mode.
