The passive technology of LG televisions splits 1080 lines to each eye equally. Although the full resolution is 1080, the perceived resolution is only 540 lines.

Some people say that LG Cinema 3D has only half the best resoultoin 3D TVs can have. Owners of LG Cinema 3D TV help me out please. Does it affect the image quality a lot?

It's true that LG Cinema 3D has half the best resolution. The signal is split into alternate lines for the left and right eyes. The apparent resolution is therefore 540 lines rather than the 1080 of 2D television or of active 3D televisions. Unlike the LG, active televisions use 1080 lines but alternate the image between the left and right eye on alternate frames. The resolution is better but there have been criticisms of flickering caused by the active glasses. The only way to make a judgment is to see and watch both types. When you have experienced them, you will be in a good position to judge which you prefer.


Can someone tell you the price of 3D TV glasses?

Active 3D TV glasses are from $15 upwards. Passive glasses are cheaper but remember that passive glasses have no electronics built in to them and they only deliver 540 line resolution compared to the full 1080 HD resolution of active systems.


Which is the latest TV technology used in LG LCD TV?

LG aren't using the latest technology in 3D. The passive glasses are polarizing lenses and operate in the same way that film based 3D movies have been doing for many years. LG have called this "Cinema 3D" in recognition of the fact it has come from cinema technology. The latest 3D technology is being used by most other manufacturers who are using active glasses. This technique retains full resolution in the images rather than LG's system that cuts effective resolution down to only 540 lines.


What is a comfortable 3D TV that's also a full HD 3D TV?

There are two type of 3D television currently available. LG uses a passive type while most other manufacturers use an active type. Full HD resolution is only obtained by active models as the passive types split the 1080 lines between the eyes with an effective resolution of only 540 lines. So, for full HD in 3D, you need to be looking for active types.


Which passive 3D TVs are full HD 1080p?

Passive 3D televisions are normally 1080 line. However, the image is split into left and right images so the effective resolution becomes half the full HD resolution, namely 540 line. So although they can claim to be full HD, they have a total of 1080 lines, the viewer sees only half the full resolution.

What is now cinema 3D TV. Does it make any difference with another 3D tvs.?

Cinema 3D is LG's name for their 3D television. It doesn't make any difference with another television because it's only used by LG. It features half resolution images with 540 lines to each eye rather than full 1080 resolution. Standard definition reached 576 lines almost fifty years ago so 540 lines is disappointing to say the least. It has borrowed the technology from movie theater 3D system in use more than twenty years ago. It uses cheap glasses and you can use movie theater disposable glasses if you wish.


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 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.
