Active 3D TV uses alternating fields to generate two images for the 3D effect. It requires glasses that switch the image from one eye to the other. The glasses are battery powered but are now very lightweight. The resolution is at 1080 lines as normal HD
Passive 3D or Cinema 3D as LG like to call their televisions split the image using alternate lines. The glasses don't need batteries but the resolution is cut down to 540 lines. That is even worse than standard definition of 576 lines.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
Will passive 3D TV survive and continue in todays trend?
Technology in 3D TV has improved much more lately. The upcoming technology is 3D TV without glasses, but it will probably be insanely priced. I think passive 3D TV, as it is called, is the next generation 3D TV, and it may actually be the best 3D TV technology right now. I suggest you gain more information about passive 3D TV if you doubt the quality. You can also take active 3D TV as a comparison.
Why is LG Cinema 3D called the next generation 3D TV?
LG Cinema 3D is called the next generation 3D TV for marketing purposes. The the polarizing technology of the LG system has been with us for many years so it's anything but next generation. LG use passive 3D technology while most other manufacturers use active. Active technology does not use polarized light but does use glasses that cut the image from one eye to the other at high speed.
Does LG make passive 3D TVs?
LG only make passive 3D television. They do not supply any models that are active 3D.
Is LG Cinema 3D the only passive 3D TV?
No, there's actually Vizio 3D TV called Vizio Theater 3D. They use the same technology as 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.
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.
What is the latest 3D technology?
3D technology is moving fast. The two major techniques in use rely on either active or passive glasses. Active glasses are expensive and some claim that passive glasses are a better choice. At the moment, it is a matter of personal preference. It is really important that you audition 3D televisions before investing in one. 3d without glasses will be with us in the future but bear in mind that 3D is still a young technology. There will be a lot of new products coming out in the next year or two before the market becomes more stable.
What are some features which should be considered when choosing the best quality 3D TV?
You should consider first whether you want passive 3D or active 3D. But which technology is a better choice for the consumer depends on preferences and intended use for 3D in the home. LG, Vizio, and Toshiba currently have active 3Ds.
Which is better passive or active 3D?
Being better depends totally on the experience you wish to have. Active 3D can provide a clearer image if you stay exactly in one spot in a fixed area and maintain your battery charge. Passive 3D provides the same quality image with more options as far as viewing position. Their glasses arent battery-operated neither. If you want a recommendation, there is a type of passive 3D TV which uses cinema 3D tv technology (same technology as the cinema) and it delivers 10/10 for me. I'm not familiar with all the features so you'll have to google it.
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.
