Yes it will play 3d discs even if your tv is not 4k. That does not matter and only matters for 4k media.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My TV is both 4k and 3d (it is a Sony). The players plays 3d movies (I have watched some). In 3d mode, it doesn't matter what kind of 3d tv it is connected to because 3d is only a 1040 format. On my 4k tv this player and my 3d player I used before getting this, will look better than a non 4k tv because the tv will upscale the movie. This is important in passive 3d tv's because passive tv's are sending half the image on one frame and the other half on the next frame to get the 3d image. So the upscaling 4k tv will give both half of the image at one time. (this is information I had read from other tech sources and the 3d movies are better than the same movie played on my non 4k tv).

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.From all I've read, and I've done a ton of research over the past couple of years re 3D TVs, players, glasses, movies....YES, this player....all blu-ray players, are backward compatible. You can play your standard DVD discs in it and it will upscale them to look the best they can ever look. The same re blu-ray discs. It will upscale them to look the best they can ever look. They say it is upscaling them to 4K, but they will never be truly 4K. It is impossible. But it's supposed to make them look amazing. I do not have a 4K TV. My ex does. I have an LG 1080p 3D TV. My ex had a 3D blu ray player which the 3D meant nothing to him. So he gave it to me since my TV is 3D. Leaving him with his older DVD player. Now I'm researching like crazy to get him a 3D blu ray player for Christmas (I discovered his 4K TV has full 3D capabilities. He had no clue, nor cares). Why I'm rushing to upgrade him from a DVD player to blu-ray....I've recently found out during my research that your standard DVD movies played in a DVD player, being shown on a standard definition TV (the ones we all had before the high definition 1080p TVs we can hang on our walls now) plays/looks great. BUT if you play your DVD movies in a DVD player, showing them on the new High Def 1080p skinny TVs we all pretty much have switched over to, the picture will look horrible! The DVD was meant for standard viewing which if played on a new HD TV, especially the larger TVs, the worse the quality of the picture shown will become. For when the new TV 'upscales' the DVD movie to fill up the HD screen, the picture which is a fixed amount of pixels, is being stretched out, thinned out, weakened, degraded, however you want to put it, to where it becomes horrible quality! I am not stating all this correctly, but did not feel like digging up this information to copy and paste into my comments here! I think you get what I'm trying to convey. At least to where you could research this aspect of it if you need to. I just know that I did not have a clue! I figured the DVD movies would look at least as good as they used to and if I would have thought about it (at all) I would have thought they would look even better since the TV quality is so much better. NO! Exact opposite! My ex doesn't play his movies much. But I definitely want to make sure he at least has a blu-ray player so they WILL look even better than they used to. I know I'm not going to offer up this info to him until he has the means to see them great! If not, I hate to think what he'll be thinking....totally confused and trying to 'make' it work right. Meaning messing w/the connections, the settings, etc. Without a clue as to what the heck he's doing! Digital is so much more complicated than analog....at least to us. We're definitely senior citizens in their so called 'golden years'. So this new tech stuff is overwhelming! Back to state my answer to your question....YES it will play them. Now if you had a 4K movie on disc, you could not play it in just a blu-ray player. Just as you could not play a blu-ray disc in just a DVD player. But newer format players are made to play the new and also play what you had before they came out. I will watch blu-ray over DVD any time. BUT I certainly do not wish to get rid of my entire DVD collection that took years and lots of money to build up. You will not have to trade up in a year. I personally have no desire to get a 4K TV. There is not much of anything out there in 4K to watch...at least within reason cost-wise. The upside to having a 4K TV, I feel, would be in its ability to 'upscale' DVDs and blu-rays. Not reason enough for me to put out the kind of money it would take to buy a 4K TV. At least for me. ANYway, happy holidays and Merry Christmas!
