How Can I See 3D Videos With My Real 3D Glasses?

RealD is the brand name for polarized 3D glasses that are used with a 3D TV for watching 3D video. The lack of electronics in RealD glasses makes them lightweight and inexpensive, so they are often used in movie theaters. You can watch real 3D using these glasses at home, provided that the 3DTV is compatible with the polarizing technology used by the glasses. The set-up for 3D on the 3D TV does not require any settings to be made on the 3D glasses.
