Both have their own benefits and drawbacks. The most important thing is that you find a television comfortable, easy and realistic to watch. If you enjoy watching 3D on a certain model, the technology used is of little importance.
This is an argument that continues to battle on and on. Basically, Samsung is active shutter technology and each eye receives a 1080p image at a time. Meanwhile, LG developed a passive technology 3D TV where both eyes receive 540p image at the same time. Samsung does have impeccable quality, though, so make sure to research it all the way. Good luck!
Passive subwoofers have an external amplifier. Active subwoofers include a built in amplifier. Top of the line home installations are typically always "active" but professional audio solutions often still use passive subwoofers.
Samsung 3D Tvs are okay for gaming but before investing, make sure you try several models first. Also make sure you experience both passive and active 3D systems. Both have their benefits and you will probably find you prefer one over the other. Whichever is the easiest to watch is probably the right choice for you.
In terms of spatial resolution, Samsung have better quality than LG because LG use passive technology, meaning that alternate lines are split to each eye. Samsung, Sony and Panasonic all feature 1080 line resolution compared with LGs 540 line resolution. Does that mean Samsung is better to watch? That can only be decided by you. Make sure you get to see a range of 3D televisions before making your decision.
Vizio models are cheap and perhaps not the best 3D quality available. However, they are good value for money and if you like the pictures they produce, they are worth buying.
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.
Active. Passive would be: Television is watched by the family to relax.
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 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.
Because they aren't better than active 3D television. Both have their advantages. Passive televisions use polarizing glasses to separate the left and right eyes' images. The effect is that the perceived resolution is cut in half to 540 lines, less than the 576 lines of older standard definition images.
LG only make passive 3D television. They do not supply any models that are active 3D.

Battery free glasses for 3D are better if they are being used with passive 3D televisions. LG only have passive 3D television so the battery free glasses work with them. The other premium brands such as Samsung, Sony etc all use active 3D and their glasses are battery powered. The active glasses are far better for use with active televisions because the battery free glasses won't work with them. Previous criticisms of active glasses were weight and battery life. With the weight below one ounce and battery life of over 100 hours, neither of these are issues any more.
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.
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.
No it isn't. Passive television splits alternate lines to each eye so effectively they reduce the resolution to only 540 lines. That's even worse than standard definition of 576 lines. LG make passive 3D televisions. They are one of the only manufacturers that make passive 3D televisions so by default they are perhaps the best. If you want to get a television with 3D resolution below even SD televisions, the LG is definitely the one to go for. Of course, you might want to look at the active 3D televisions made by almost every other manufacturer before you spend money on an LG.
In theory, active 3D TVs are supposed to have better image quality than passive models. Passive televisions such as LG split the image lines so each eye sees only 540 lines. With an active 3D image, each eye sees a full 1080 lines. For resolution, choose an active television. Before buying, do experience both active and passive models and make your own judgment. For non-3D viewing, you must look at the technology used to make the display. Modern TV's use an LED backlight, and some have the capability of local dimming, that is, turning off backlight LED's for areas of the screen that are back. This can make a big difference in the contrast ratio of the screen, and is most noticable during movie titles. For 3D viewing, you should get a chance to view 3D Blu-Ray content (not a demo disc, but a movie) on the screen.
