No, there's actually Vizio 3D TV called Vizio Theater 3D. They use the same technology as LG.
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.
LG only make passive 3D television. They do not supply any models that are active 3D.
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.
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.
LG Cinema 3D got #1 in a consumer research. Personally, I also think LG Cinema 3D is better than Samsung's any other 3D TVs. Samsung's 3D TVs are active TVs and they use shutter system while LG Cinema 3D is a passive tv withbetter FPS technology. Basically you never have to worry about flickering images and crosstalk with a passive 2D TV. Not only is LG Cinema 3D a flicker free and crosstalk free TV, it also has lightweight and battery free 3D glasses. These 3D glasses are very affordable compared to Samsung's. If you're gonna buy a 3D TV, you might as well buy the one that's flicker free and crosstalk free.
Cinema 3D TV is the technology LG uses for their passive TV models. Their name comes from their TVs having similar technology to the 3D used in cinemas hence, "Cinema 3D TV". This technology however is only available on LGs LW series and can be purchased at just about any retailer.
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.
LG Cinema 3D glasses are really cheap. You can get them for $5-$10 and you can even take one from the movie theater and use at home with LG Cinema 3D.
LG calls its 3D technology Cinema 3D so the 3D models all use that title.
Nobody. LG and Vizio do passive 3D LCD displays.
No. LG's Cinema 3D glasses are battery free. Because LG use this passive glass type, their televisions operate at 540 lines in 3D mode, so they are not full HD. 2D signals are rendered in full HD without the glasses.
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.
