Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, a global leader in display technology and digital media, announced today that it has become the first company to commence mass production of panels for 3D LED TVs and 3D LCD TVs.
The company began producing LED and LCD compatible panels for 40-inch, 46-inch and 55-inch full-HD 3D TVs using '3D Active Glasses' this month, employing Samsung's exclusive...

> The polarized glass method previously used in 3D glasses produced separate images for the left and right eyes, resulting in half the resolution of two-dimensional pictures as only half of the screen can be viewed through each polarized filter. <
Not true at all, for projection. And only true for emissive displays if they can't dynamically change polarization.
> Brightness was also lowered because of the polarized filter. <
Gotta love this spin factor... aka, BS. Point out the negative that Polarizing filters lower the brightness somewhat, but let's not mention that the active shutter glasses they're praising cut it by a full 50% right out of the gate, due to the fact that each is completely closed 50% of the time. And that's not including the fact that none of the LCD shutters is 100% transparent either. So it's actually significantly less than 50% (they range from 25-40% transmissivity).
When companies attempt to deceive by misdirection, they lose my respect.

I agree with you Tim!
With the polarizing technology, are you not still seeing full 1080p anyway? It's just that one eye sees 540 and the other sees 540 so it totals up to 1080 (and all the image is on the screen at the same time).
After viewing both technologies at CES, the polarizing version looked the better of the two - that's not to say that it will be the successful one though as most of the major guys (Samsung, Sony, etc.) seem to be favoring the active shutter type. LG may be our only hope as they were demoing polarizing technology!

With the right image, and there are plenty, you will think you are watching NTSC. What you are seeing in the theaters is a different animal with way more pixels. The problem with flat panels is the polarization is interlaced, just like NTSC, rather than checkerboard because they can't do that. At least not yet...
