LG dump Passive 3D technology and go Active for consumers!
Lg has just announced their new 3DTV for release in May – and it’s not what was initially expected! It was a long held belief that the company would release their LD920 Passive 3DTV in the UK to co-incide with Sky launching their 3D service. Well that is still very much the case, just that it will be to pubs and clubs only. The reasoning is fairly straight forward in that the passive glasses cost less than a couple of quid and are ideal for locations such as pubs where Sky will show major sporting events using the LD920 TVs. For the consumer, LG has announced a completely new TV that will feature the active shutter glasses instead.
Using full array LED backlighting technology the LG LX9900 will be available in 47 and 55inch versions and uses active 3D technology. The TVs will be fully compatible with Sky 3D and the new 3D Blu-ray format for movies. You will be able to buy the LX9900 from May this year, but you also need to buy the glasses separately. Here are the known specs so far…
