3D LED/LCD - which glasses work best?

[bewer]

I'm considering a 3D LED set and noticed the various types of glasses available. Any advise as to which ones work the best?

Some of my own thoughts so far:

1) Non-powered glasses: seems very convenient as they do not run out of power half-way through a movie. However, it seems that your viewing angle is limited with these and that you must sit directly in front of your set to get the true 3D experience.

2) Powered, chargeable: Chargeable devices' battery life seems to deteriorate over time and it would become inevitable that you would not be able to watch a movie without a half-way change? Am I too negative here?

3) Powered, non-chargeable: at the moment this is what I'm leaning towards. Replaceable battery type glasses. At least one can quickly change a battery during a movie.

Am I on the right track here? I'd greatly appreciate anyone's experience with the various types 3D glasses...

Thanks.

LG and Panasonic TV's use "Real3D" ( Passive 3D ) which is the same as what you have at the movies ( polarized unpowered glasses )
Samsung, Sony, etc use Active 3D... i.e. powered glasses.

You cannot use active glasses on passive panels and vice-versa.

I'd go for active... since these panels can usually do cool things like allow 2 playstation players to play a game at the same time... or on samsungs latest firmware... allow you to watch two different channels at the same time.

I also recommend active. The resolution of 3D blu-ray connect is viewed at DOUBLE the resolution of passive 3D and the difference in quality is instantly noticeable.

Before the LG fanbois start moaning about active 3D and how batteries are a nuisance (nonsense, they last for months), or how the flicker (what flicker) is annoying I suggest going to view the difference in an AV store that has a viewing room for their TVs with similar lighting to your room at home.

The extremely bright lighting at Game, Makro etc does bring out a slight flicker with some active 3D sets but that also depends on the Hz of your TV.

I'd say passive if you have kids that play with the stuff and have sticky fingers, sit on it and generally treat it like its a plastic pair of clown glasses. My TV is for everyone, family, friends, kids so active glasses just won't last in that environment. I've had to replace mine because of braai sause and pen & pencil drawings on them, luckily passive glasses are dirt cheap.

Active if it's a more personal gadget
