Real D 3D movies work by projecting two copies of the movie onto the screen, one after the other in quick transition. One series of frames is from the perspective of the left eye, while the other is from the perspective of the right eye. The left and right projections have different light polarizations. The left lens of the 3D glasses allows the light from the left projection to be seen by the left eye, but prevents light from the right projection being seen by the left eye. The right lens does the opposite, allowing only the right projection's light to be seen by the right eye. The human brain naturally combines the two 2-dimensional images into a single to make a 3-dimensional scene.
This works on LG 3D TV because the TV produces same polarized images, let alone alternating frames with different circular polarization attributes.
That's why we say the theater 3D glasses also work on LG's 3D TV.
Yes they work on the Passive 3D TVs and they work on VISIO passive 3D (I have one of these and I have used the glasses I got from the movies with it).
i brought some active 3d glasses for my lg 42pw450t 3d TV but they don't work
For any passive 3D television, the 3D glasses from movie theaters will work.
Active 3d glasses will not work with passive 3d TV. Active glasses use shutter 3D technology that requires a power source to power the lenses in the glasses. Passive glasses don't have electronics or batteries. Hence, they are lighter and more comfortable. Active and passive TV work using completely different technology and thus active glasses cannot work on passive TV.
3D TV work its like a normal tv but you dont wear 3D glasses thats all you need to know :)
All Samsung active LCD glasses should work with all Samsung sets.
Revealing how 3D TV glasses work, the difference between passive and active shutter glasses, plus new ... Easy to follow guide to the 3D TV technology used to deliver 3D imaging
Battery powered 3D glasses means they are active 3D glasses and they only work with their own manufactured brand. However the compatibility of passive 3D glasses for other TVs are much higher. They work on any 3D TVs or theaters if they use the same passive technology. The passive 3D TV glasses are also lightweight due to no batteries being attatched. Plus, they don't need to be charged everytime before/after use unlike the active ones.
LG 3D TVs have the cheapest glasses. The passive 3D TVs that is. They require the use of polarized lens which will work on almost any passive 3D TV and the cinema as well.
LG televisions use passive glasses so you will not find LG active glasses. Actually, LG has made several models of active 3D televisions, despite their current push for passive. LG glasses such as the AGS100 will not work with Samsung televisions. If you are looking for lower priced glasses for your Samsung TV, try the Monoprice website.
Samsung 3D TVs use shutter glasses. Shutter glasses work by receiving signals from the television. There are a number of third party suppliers of 3D glasses and it might be worth trying a different type. When purchasing alternatives, make sure the glasses are compatible with your television.
In general, yes you do need special glasses to view a 3D TV. However, Sony are now working on a variant of this which does not require these glasses at all.
Of course you can. There is a clipper-type of 3D glasses that you can wear over your prescription glasses. It is not expensive or hard to find. Just type in 3D Glasses Clip on the internet and you will see lots of results. If you don't want the clip type then there are also 3D prescription glasses. I know the LG sells passive glasses for their 3D TVs that you can use for their TVs, theaters, and also as polarized sunglasses. However, it won't work with any of the other active 3D TVs because active TVs are only designed to work on the manufactured brand.
