LG only make passive 3D television. They do not supply any models that are active 3D.
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.
No, there's actually Vizio 3D TV called Vizio Theater 3D. They use the same technology as LG.
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.
LG only make passive 3D television so they have several cheap models. The LW5600 is currently LG's cheapest series of 3D televisions, so wait for them to go on sale when the LW5700 series replaces them.
Most 3D televisions have a 3d emulation frauds. Both the LG and the Visio passive 3D TVs have a 3d emulation feature for 2D sources. It is not as realistic or effective as real 3D.
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.
'The Best' is a subjective answer. Both Vizio and LG make passive 3D televisions. Try out both and make your own mind up. Answers.com cannot be relied upon to answer the question of 'the best', as assumed representative of LG have been trolling this forum for months posting and answering their own softball questions to promote their own products.
2 manufacturers, LG and Vizio, are using passive 3d technology. All others are currently selling active 3D systems.
It doesn't look that way to me at all. In fact, there is a huge amount of spam being posted in support of LG, who make only passive televisions. Beware of any review or comment on LG that is gushing in it's praise for LG, Cinema 3D or passive 3D; it may well be some of that spam. Active 3D is known for its sharp images because it delivers high quality 1,080p images while passive 3D is known to show only half. Passive 3D however is known for its ligher weight and cheaper glasses. They both have advantages and weaknesses.
Cinema 3D is the term LG uses for their 3D technology. This does not apply to all LG models. Only the passive 3D line in models that start with LW. Ex: LW6500, LW5600.
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.
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.
