LG Launching a 3D Display That Uses Passive Glasses  Print E-mail

As CES draws nearer, companies are tipping their hands, revealing what exciting new products they've got up their sleeves.  LG's latest is exciting indeed.

The company has announced that it will be launching a 65 inch 3D TV that uses the same passive glasses seen in movie theaters.  It seems Vizio isn't the only company jumping on this much demanded 3D technology.

The most obvious advantage of course, is the cost of glasses and flexibility of choice.  If you're happy with the cheap glasses provided by theaters you can go with them.  If you're looking for something a little more stylish and comfortable you can pick up one of the designer options.

LG says that the second advantage is in picture quality.  The company boasts that their TV and glasses combine for a flicker free picture, and is certified as such by TUV and Intertek.

There's no word on pricing or a release date yet, but LG says it will be rolled out " soon after its introduction at CES."

While having passive glasses might seem great at first glance, it's apparently
at the expense of HALF the horizontal resolution, which hardly makes this an
"advantage in picture quality"
