As a popular video online streaming service, Vudu has a 3D service that can be acquired by its users. What are Vudu 3D movies? How to get 3D movies on Vudu?

Part 2: What you need to get 3D movies on Vudu

Vudu has been known for high-quality video and audio delivery with its HDX format, which rivals the quality of Blu-ray discs. This is amazing when you consider that the media is streaming to your device in a digital format rather than physical media. Of course, the 3D effects are only as good as the 3D effects of a Blu-ray disc. With a few exceptions, most 3D creates a behind-the-screen depth rather than out-of-the-TV action. Disney’s “The Christmas Carol” is an example where twirling snowflakes indeed floated out into the room.

Anyway, to get those 3D movies on Vudu, there are some preparations you need to do ahead of time, which means, you can’t just simply watch a Vudu 3D movie on your PC. Instead, you need something else to watch Vudu 3D movies.

A Vudu app can be found on 3D Samsung and LG smart TVs and Blu-ray disc players, and on Smart TVs and home theater components from other makers. For more info, you can check the VUDU’s device page. Here is everything you need to complete setup for access to VUDU 3D.

Be noted that on some TVs and devices, after highlighting movies, you may need to click on Collections, then Showcases before selecting 3D. The specific steps depend on your device module.

Also, if you don’t see the 3D listings, you can also go into Search and type 3D and a listing of available 3D movie titles will appear on the screen – As you click on each title there will be a notice that the 3D version is only available for those that have a 3D TV.
