3D and 3D Ready?

From a quick search on Google, 3D (or 3D integrated) means the TV comes with 3D glasses and/or a 3D transmitter, while 3D Ready means it is capable of 3D but you have to buy the glasses and/or transmitter seperately.

EDIT: That said, it also seems to mean that TVs that are 3D ready do not play 3D and are just 2D TVs that require special adaptors. So I assume 3D TV means a TV that can paly 3D, while 3D Ready means they cannot out of the box, and require a special adaptor. Just buy the TV which says 3D TV.

Just edited my post :P It seems Google is confused too :P

Basically 3D Ready means it's a 2D TV which needs a special adaptor, while 3D integrated means it can play 3D out of the box.

3D: Outputs 3D
3D Ready: Capable of receiving a 3D signal.

My projector is 3D Ready but I require a Optoma 3D-XL adapter (£240~) to use the 3D.

So all in all, a 3D ready device requires an adapter whereas a 3D device requires solely the input.
