TV & Home Theater

[davesmith0315]

I recently purchased a LG Cinema 3D TV (My model # is LW6500) and just wanted to share my experience with it so far.

Quite frankly, I am much satisfied with it.

First of all, it comes with those 3D glasses you get at movie theaters.

These are battery-free and lightweight and doesn't give me a headache even after many hours of watching TV.

These are also very affordable compared to those shutter 3D glasses that you have to charge.

I purchased a couple more to use when my friends come over.

Second of all, I haven't had any flicker or crosstalk problem so far. LG Cinema 3D is a passive 3D TV. I'm not completely sure what that means but apparently it's impossible to get flickering or crosstalking images on a passive 3D tv.

(can someone elaborate on what 'passive 3d tv' means?)

The image quality and the color quality are just amazing.

I haven't explored all the featrues at but apparently you can watch 2D contents in 3D mode too.

If anyone has tried this, please let me know?

Thank you for posting.

Have you found a movie yet that is worth watching in 3D?  Every 3D movie I have seen uses the same sad, tired old 3D scenes over and over...something flying at you, something flying away, etc.  But none of the ones I have seen have been better because they are in 3D.

Glad to hear that you're happy with LG Cinema 3D tv. I happen to own one myself and am super happy with it too.

A passive 3D tv is different from an active 3D tv because a passive 3d tv doesn't use shutter system.

Active 3d tvs use shutter system and the 3d glasses are also shutter glasses.

basically, after each image frame, they put a black frame. eachof your eyes take turn to see the image frame and the black frame.

so when your left eye is seeing an image, your right eye sees a black frame.

but sometimes both of your eyes see the image frame at the same time and this causes the crosstalk problems.

also flickering problems happen because the frames move so slowly.

with a passive tv, your eyes see the 3d images as your eyes naturally do (no black frames).

so you NEVER get flickering images and crosstalks.
