Will the active 3D glasses work with passive 3D tv We have an LG passive 3D TV and we need extra ones My friend has an active 3D TV though so I was wondering if I can just borrow his glasses.?
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.
What are the things I must know about 3D TV when planning to buy one?
First, you have to understand that there are two types of 3D technologies, active and passive. Active 3D TVs are like Panasonic, Sony, or Samsung's 3D TV. Passive ones are like Vizio or LG 3D TVs. Active 3D retains full HD resolution whereas passive cuts the effective resolution down to only 540 lines. However, passive is a cheap system compared to the premium brands.
Does LG make passive 3D TVs?
LG only make passive 3D television. They do not supply any models that are active 3D.
Do you know which brand or model of 3D TV that is flicker free and crosstalk free which uses battery free 3D glasses?
There are two technologies in use with 3D television. Active 3D requires glasses that have batteries while passive models do not. Crosstalk in active glasses has been a problem but it depends on the make of glasses and television. For passive 3D, look at Sony, Visio, Toshibe or LG.
Are active 3D glasses better than the passive 3D glasses because they have battery and are more expensive that active glasses seem to be more sophisticated and reliable?
Active 3D glasses are far better than passive glasses when used with an active 3D television. Similarly, passive 3D glasses work well with passive televisions. Active glasses have been criticized for their weight in the past. Later glasses are lighter than many passive glasses, have a battery life of over one hundred hours and are proving to be exceptionally reliable.
Do you use 3d glasses to be compatible to the tv or compatible to the 3d bluray player?
The TV will specify if it is a passive or active shutter.
What is the difference between active and passive 3D TVs and which one is Cinema 3D TV?
The main difference between active and passive 3D TVs is that active 3D TVs use shutter system and passive 3D TVs don't. Shutter system inserts a black frame after each image frame and the result is when your right eye is seeing an image, your left eye sees a black frame. Each side of the glasses take turn to project the image and the black frame i.e. the glasses. This causes flickering images and crosstalks. Passive 3D TVs, however, let your eyes see the 3D images as you naturally see other things. There are no black frames after each image frame. This allows the passive 3D TVs to be flicker free and crosstalk free. Cinema 3D TVs are passive 3D TVs. Passive TVs project images with more vibrant colors and of higher quality.
How many manufacturers are using passive 3d technology in their 3d TVs?
2 manufacturers, LG and Vizio, are using passive 3d technology. All others are currently selling active 3D systems.
Is the LG cinema 3D TV a passive type. How is the 3D picture quality?
3D TVs are a hot issue these days. Some say active 3D TV is better, some say passive 3D TV is better. I didn't see difference when I went to Best Buy.
What is the difference between active and passive 3D TVs?
Active 3D TVs use shutter glasses to send images to the left and right eye one at a time very rapidly. This can also cause the viewer to see flickering. Passive 3D TVs use polarized cinema 3D Glasses which sends the 3D image to the eyes simulaneously, allowing viewers to view 3D exactly how we view objects in real life. The glasses for active type 3D TVs are around $100-200 while the cinema 3D glasses for passive TVs are about $10 each.
Does Samsung make a passive 3D TV?
Samsung, like the majority of manufacturers only makes active 3D tvs. LG and Toshiba make passive 3D TVs. Although there is debate over the better technology, manufacturers are supporting active 3D more than passive. It has had some teething trouble in its early days but recent developments have made it far more robust and the once heavy glasses are now as light as many of the passive glasses.
IS LG the only company that makes passive 3D TVs?
No, Toshiba have a few passive models and Vizio also make passive 3D TVs. However, the majority of the premium manufacturers have adopted active 3D television as it retains full HD resolution in 3D mode rather than the 540 lines offered by LG.
