Will 3D HDTVs upconvert 2D movies into 3D?

Yes, several 3D HDTV manufacturers — including Samsung, Sony, and Toshiba — offer 3D panels with built-in processing that converts 2D programming into 3D format. Special video processing actually segments the original 2D content into a series of objects, and then assigns relative “depths” to each object/segment. The result is an enhanced sense of depth and spatiality in every scene. Note, while upconverted 2D content will be a welcome substitute for Full 3D as new 3D movies are being released, Full 3D is still be your best source for 3D home viewing.
