7606 2d to 3d conversion on the fly

[tittwist]

I was also led to belive taht 7000 series have 2d-3d conversion...
And also how hard is to implement reading subtitles from USB ( 4x cheaper vox tv's can do that and philips can't wtf), and your stupid myremote app is not availeble in bunch of apple stores.
Shame on you Philips, stay away from this crappy tv!

Hi,

subtitles via USB (*.SRT) are supported - just install the latest firmware.

Hi

Indeed, we have spotted two items on our website that do not contain up to date information. Both are related to the 2011 7000 TV series and 2D/3D conversion. To make it clear: out of the whole 7000 series from 2011 only the Cinema 21:9 Gold has 2D/3D conversion. Part of the range (7600 and up) has Easy 3D and the Cinema 21:9 has 2D/3D conversion on top of that. 2D/3D conversion is also not a feature of 3D Max, but is a separate feature.

The press release as referred to by Wivenhoe (post #3) has in the meantime been corrected. The video mentioned by tremmere (post #9) is about 3D in general and shows several features including 3D Max and 2D/3D conversion. It was accidentally linked to the Easy 3D icon on the Philips website for the United Kingdom. The same video also ended up on YouTube but got the wrong title. We have corrected the video in our own philips.com domain and are working to correct the video on YouTube, which was not posted by ourselves so this is a bit harder to change.

Unfortunately we cannot turn on 2D/3D conversion in the firmware of this series due to hardware restrictions.

We do sincerely apologize for the confusion and any inconvenience this has caused.

Please contact your local contact center in case you have further questions. You can find your local contact details via http://www.support.philips.com.

Hi

I also have a 7000series (47PFL7606k) which does not convert 2d-3d :-)

Wouldn't it be a possibility for philips to produce a special hardware device which has the ability to convert 2d in 3d and "feed" the TV with 3d content? So Philips could make additional money, because a lot of people with 7000series would love buying it and watch 3d!

Just an idea....

is there coming some updates to 2D-3D conversion on 42PFL7696T production?
If it is then can you please tell me when?

Hi,

as Thomas indicated before, this function requires software AND hardware to work properly. Consequently, the 7K series will not support that feature, cause the hardware isn't present.

Okay,well the thing is now that if i have bought that and were given wrong information,so there would be a possibility to return the tv and get the right one? or we have to just stay with this TV and with not so great 3D effect ? or there can be a possibility that some new firmare update can support this tv?
