A. Unfortunately, in many cases, the answer is no. There is a selection of “3D-ready” TVs that have been on the market for some time which can be 3D-enabled with the additional purchase of a 3D adapter, infrared emitter, and 3D glasses. Please check with your TV manufacturer for further details. Note that 3D-ready TVs may not offer the same level of 3D quality as that of full 1080p 3D-enabled 3DTVs. With regard to Blu-ray players, the only existing 2D player that has announced the availability of a 3D firmware upgrade is the PLAYSTATION®3. The 3D firmware upgrade will be available this summer. If you do not already own a 3D-ready TV or PLAYSTATION®3, you will need to upgrade your equipment to allow for 3D viewing.
