What is the actual model of your HDTV?

I have no idea too, to be honest. Where can I check the model? Settings?

Look on the back of the HDTV for the data plate/label.

When you get home, get the complete model number and then google the model number followed by specifications (example below). This should yield the info for your HDTV

Full HD 3D
By using high frame rate LCDs with a “frame sequential display”, Sony makes it possible to watch Full HD 3D quality video on 3D compatible BRAVIA LCD TVs. This technology involves alternately transmitting images for the left eye and right eye to the screen.

When viewed through the “active shutter glasses”, the two separate images on the shutter glasses are synchronized with the onscreen image with their Full HD quality intact, and precisely transmitted to the viewer’s eyes. The high-quality super-fine Full HD 3D images deliver unprecedented reality and presence.
