No, unless you don't watch Direct TV or have 2D to 3D Conversion TV. However, not all the 3D TVs are capable of converting 2D to 3D. Therefore, answer is Yes and No. You will be able to watch TV channels in 3D on 3D TVs like LG but not on such like a Vizio because they don't support 2D to 3D conversion. So check the spec whether there are this feature in the TV before you buy it if you want to watch TV channels like Oprah, American Idol, NFL in 3D. Plus, this conversion feature convert not only TV channels but anything on TV meaning you will be able to watch literaily any contents even downloaded movie from internet, on 3D.

I read ESPN and Discovery Channel in 3D are available for 24/7.

All 3D TVs can show both 2D and 3D images. You simply have to change its mode from 2D or 3D. It depends on which content you are watching.

What is 3D TV?

It is television or video that gives its viewers a perception of depth. That is, a viewer can feel the depth of different objects while watching TV. The same perception of depth was possible earlier with Stereoscopic TV. This perception of depth is given to the viewers by providing slightly different views of the same scene, to each eye of a user. By analysing the differences between these two images, the human brain is able to distinguish objects at different depths. In stereoscopic TV, all the viewers of the scene will see the same view. This is similar to the present IMAX cinemas, which shows 3D movies. The difference between 3D TV and stereoscopic TV is that, different views will see different views of the same scene. For example, in a future cinemas the displays 3D movies with this technology, the viewers will see different views of the scene, depending upon the place they sit, in the cinema. Of course, you still need to wear the special kind of 3D glasses because the technology that would let us see in 3D is still in the laboratories. However, these are not the same kind of glasses you get given in the cinema, the 3D glasses you use to watch 3D television are a special kind called Active Shutter Glasses.

What are the steps for quick and cost effective way for 3d printing?

The three dimensional object by laying down consecutive layers of material called 3d printing. Model constructions are probably using the 3d printing technique. 3d printing can produce a prototype in a few hours, thus save the labor and manufacturing cost.


An old television draws about 3 A of current It plugs into a wall outlet that is 120 V What is the resistance in ohms of the television?

Is this, intentionally, a trick question?We are dealing with alternating current, here, not direct current. So, if you divide the supply voltage by the current drawn by the television set, you are determining its impedance(Z), not its resistance:Z = V/I = 120/3 = 40 ohmsImpedance is the vector sum of resistance and reactance. As the current is probably being drawn by a transformer, the resistance will be significantly lower than the reactance, perhaps only an ohm or two -if that!So, from the information supplied, you cannot determine the resistance.


What is digital and analog?

we often confuse our-self with continuous time and analog signals. An analog signal is a signal which can take any amplitude in continuous range that is signal amplitude can take infinite values on the other hand a digital signal is one whose amplitude can take only finite numbers of values THE TERM CONTINUOUS SIGNAL AND DISCRETE SIGNAL CLASSIFY THE SIGNALS ALONG THE TIME (i.e. horizontal axis) where as THE TERM ANALOG AND DIGITAL SIGNAL CLASSIFY THE SIGNAL ALONG THE AMPLITUDE (i.e vertical axis)

Can you play a 3d disks on a lg led tv?

3D discs will only work in 3D if the television is designed to support 3D. Most Bluray players should be capable of playing a 3D disc as 2D and so any television should be able to display the movie in 2D. This applies to LG and all other brands of television.

If you play a 2d game on a 3d tv will it come out in 3d?

2d games are just that, 2D. If you use a 3D effect then it should come out in 3D, yet the game-play play itself will stay 2D, but popped out.
