Viewers Choose Passive 3D Over Active 3D TV Sets
To many people, a 3D TV set is a 3D TV set. But it’s not, there are two distinct systems being sold right now. Active and passive 3DTV are fighting it out to win the 3D format crown, and LG have released data showing that passive 3D is preferred by viewers.
Passive 3D beats Active in consumer study
Passive 3D is found in most cinemas and uses circular polarization to separate the left and right eye images on screen. Active 3D needs a power source for the specs and each lens shuts to show each eye a different image.
Active 3D specs cost between $50-$100 per pair and require batteries. Passive glasses cost around $2 or just “borrow” a pair from your local theater.
There is much arguing over the systems, with proponents of active 3D claiming less flicker and a brighter image. Of course, passive users would argue with those points, and also mention the massive savings when needing additional glasses (some TV’s ship with one pair only!)
3D Experience Convention
RG Specs is here at the first day of the 3D Experience conference. All signed in and exited to see what the new announcements will be. All the top 3D companies are here and Press from all over the world. Late nights party at the NASDAQ building was great. We meet with a few leading experts for drinks.
We’ll keep you updated on the conference throughout the weekend.
