Is the 3d technology active or passive

3D technology is passive. The glasses you use with your Vizio are the same as the ones issued at local theaters.

1st answer is Yes thet are active rechargeable 3d glasses. I have Sharp glasses and they work great. I did see cheaper aftermarket glasses online but I didnt want to take a chance with a product that may not be as good. I suggest you get them from a store that you can return them to if your not satisfied. Good Luck!

Passive 3D is similar to what you experience in the movie cinema, in fact your cinema glasses(IMAX/RealD 3D) can be used at home on these television for 3D at home as well... the glasses are lightweight and affordable and doesn't require charging like the expensive $100 pair of active 3D glasses. Active 3D is said to provide a bit crisper resolution however as alluded to, the glasses are over $100 per pair and use an LCD flicker type technology to "actively" sync with the tv and give you 3D... this however can cause headaches for most persons, especially if worn for an extended period. these classes carry a chargeable battery and are bigger and heavier(therefore more uncomfortable) than passive 3D Passive 3D is similar to what you experience in the movie cinema, in fact your cinema glasses(IMAX/RealD 3D) can be used at home on these television for 3D at home as well... the glasses are lightweight and affordable and doesn't require charging like the expensive $100 pair of active 3D glasses.

The projector does not work with passive glasses. The project projects "right eye" then "left eye" in rapid sequence hundreds of times per second. The active shutters synchronize to this so you perceive a single image but are actually viewing a stereo image. passive glasses use a polarized light shift and are actually showing right/left at the same time. The passive glasses filter the light so your right eye only sees one image and left the other.

No it is not. 3d technology is isoing out through the window soon again according to the specialists. Thats why I bought this one.

This is correct sir! Keep in mind this is passive 3d tech (same as movie theater) vs active (glasses are much more expensive) that being said I did my research, I could not be happier with this purchase it's an amazing deal!!! get ready to have your corneas blown!!

Passive 3d uses the 3d glasses that are used in movie theaters. Active 3d uses battery operated glasses that sometimes cause a flickering effect and may give some users headaches. The following cnet link explains in detail. http://www.cnet.com/news/active-3d-vs-passive-3d-whats-better/

The glasses are definitely passive. They also work great at 3-D movies in theaters!

No. They can only be used with Sony Bravia with Active 3D. There is a difference between active and passive 3D. Passive 3D is almost universal.

I actually didn't buy this TV for the 3D, but we really enjoy it. No problem with the passive glasses. We see a lot of movies in 3D at the theatre, and the 3D on this TV definitely rivals it.

yes passive 3d glasses will work, the paper ones that have the red in one lens and blue in the other, will work. However There are some 3d passive classes that will not work like the ones they hand out at movie theaters. I found that the only ones that work passively with this projector again is the paper ones that have the red and blue lens in it. I will say, the active glasses are amazing depending on the movie and with 3D games, watch out the screen flies at you from 18 feet away easily, very neat.Hope that helps

There are active glasses and passive glasses. This TV has passive glasses (like the movie theater) they don't need batteries like active glasses. TV's require one or the other. The picture is very similar with both types. 1080p is the highest resolution you will get with 3D without paying 5000+. So this TV does have good 3D, I bought it brand new in 2011. The only complaint I have is the pixilation occurs once in a while. I paid 2700 for it brand new, so under a 1000, this TV is a good deal. 3D is the same since it came out, the 4k TV's with 3D are the exception and they are expensive. LED is better than plasma, but more expensive. The viewing angle (how far to the right or left) is good with this TV. There are active glasses and passive glasses.
