3D Technology Checklist

This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use the checklist below to ensure you have everything you need. 3D viewing requires:

A Display
First, you'll need a 3D-ready display--whether it's a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays have more processing power than standard 2D models for displaying 3D images in rapid succession.
A Source
Your display may be ready for 3D playback, but you'll still need a device to read 3D content. This can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3 system.
3D Content
3D content--the actual entertainment, in other words--will be played back using the source mentioned above, whether it's a 3D broadcast from your cable provider, a 3D Blu-ray Disc, or a 3D video game.
3D Glasses
For now, the vast majority of 3D HDTVs require glasses for 3D viewing. Many use powered "active shutter" glasses, others polarized "passive" glasses. You'll need one pair per viewer, and they'll have to be compatible with your display, whether they're the same brand, or a pair of "universal" glasses designed to work across brands.
HDMI Cable
To connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you'll need a high-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation feature bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second), for carrying the 3D signal without any loss of quality.

If you want to get more information about 3D, shop our 3D products, watch videos, or interact with other customers, we invite you to visit 3D 101, our customer center about everything 3D.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality, sturdy design, plenty of apps and smooth operation, October 1, 2011
This review is from: VIZIO VBR133 3D Blu-ray player with Internet Applications (Electronics)
My $350 Samsung BD player died and I was looking for a cheap alternative that can also play some apps like picasa, netflix, pandora etc. In my search I found Vizio model 122. I liked the features and the price tag but then VBR133 has 3D capability and that was very enticing, although I dont have a 3D tv yet.

Since Bluray has been in the market for a while my expectations from any player were high.

Criteria for a BDPlayer -
- Should load and play blurays quick and fast
- Video and Audio quality should be very good
- Must play apps like Netflix, Amazon, Picasa, BLockbuster, Pandora and more
- Must have a HDMI connection
- Remote should be easy to use and work from a good range (distance, left and righ angles)
- Must have ability to connect to internet (ethernet or wireless)
- Must have a USB port to plug in a flash drive
- Must play jpegs, audio and other video files

This player, from the outer looks, is... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Streamin Unit, July 2, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: VIZIO VBR133 3D Blu-ray player with Internet Applications (Electronics)
Update: 9/8/11

After several months Amazon VOD is now working.

-------------

I bought this to stream Vudu - Netflix and Amazon VOD. Really liked the individual buttons on the remote. But when it arrives it says Amazon Coming Soon? Sounds like Product Management had a Mental Margarita... Hope it shows up soon or it is going back.

Other than that, I like the unit.

Update:
Here is customer support answer to No Amazon VOD:

Dear Valued Customer,

Vizio identified a performance issue that we are actively working with Amazon directly to resolve prior to launching the application. The update to your player will be automatic as long as it is connected to your home network. There is not a set date of release. I apologize... Read more

Due to the low price and other reviews I was a little hesitant to purchase, however the player has exceeded my expectations.

I have used the player for a number of 3D Blu ray movies and the quality has been just amazing. Well worth the price.
