This might ba a stupid question but when watching a 3D Bluray Disc movie and you turn OFF the 3D and now see 2D is this the Same PQ as just a 2D Bluray Disc ??

Not a stupid question at all.


Basically, if you watch a 3D Blu-ray in 2D you're just seeing what one eye would see. Other than that the PQ should be the same.

With 3D turned off, you'll see the left eye view of the 3D movie. That's usually, but not always, the same as the 2D movie. Disney's Tangled 3D, for instance, is significantly different. It's a completely different render than the 2D movie that's included in the package. The 3D version has greater depth of field (so you can see more detail in the background), and the 3D version is also full of floating windows. If you watch just the left eye view of the 3D version, you'll see what looks like random cropping of the sides. This makes no sense for a 2D film, but in 3D these "floating windows" help minimize edge violations (where objects that come out of the 3D frame "collide" with the screen edges).

Ok so if i want to watch in 2D , it's better to use the original 2D version bluray ,...insted of watching 2D on a 3D disc. right?

It usually won't matter in terms of video and audio quality, but the 2D version is the best bet if 2D is all you're interested in seeing.
