Yes, you will need 3D glasses that are compatible with your 3D HDTV. Most new 3DTVs require active liquid crystal shutter glasses, which work by very quickly blocking the left and then the right eye in sequence. The glasses run on batteries (some rechargeable, depending on the brand), and sync to your 3DTV via an infrared or Bluetooth® signal. Note that most glasses are proprietary to a particular brand of TV — please consult your user manuals prior to purchase.

Note that there are select 3D-enabled computers that may be available with "auto-stereoscopic" displays — these are displays that allow the user to view 3D without the use of 3D glasses. These displays may not be able to offer full 1080p quality.
