How to Make Your Television Play 3-D
If you have a 3-D-capable TV, an HDMI cable, and a device that is capable of outputting content, then you have all of the necessary tools to make your television display 3-D images. The 3-D technology requires devices that are capable of transmitting specific types of data, and those devices must be connected to one another with a specific type of cable that can transmit the high-definition signal required for 3-D playback. With this setup in place, you will be able to view your 3-D media.

The ability to display 3-D programming is one of the main selling points of TVs with that feature, so it is often possible to determine this information from product packaging or a user manual. If you are still unable to verify this information, visit the television manufacturer's website and consult the documentation for your TV model.

Tips & Warnings
Even if your 3-D TV is connected to a 3-D-capable peripheral, you will still need to be watching 3-D content for the material to be viewed in 3-D. An example of 3-D content is a 3-D Blu-ray disc, which is labeled as such because it is different from a regular Blu-ray disc.
Watching 3-D content requires all viewers to be wearing 3-D glasses that are compatible with the output from the television. Check your product documentation to determine which type of 3-D glasses are needed for your specific TV model.
