It definitely sounds impressive on paper. Any independent reviews, or pricing released?

[TheDickWard]

No pricing yet. We'll get a look at it at CES though

That's a great sign. I recently looked at the 3D demos at Costco and every single one of them had flicker. It really felt like a step down in quality from "normal" HD.

I'm looking forward to the day when 3D is the same quality as HD and doesn't require glasses. I realize that may be a long time, but anything else is a step down from HD in my opinion, so I can wait.

I'm with you Mango, "autostereoscopic"? However, that's a long way off and I've been waiting for news on passive systems. The notion of having to change yet more batteries in my house for active shutter glasses is enough to make my head spin.

LG claims that the 3D glasses supplied with the LG LW6500 will weigh 16g. The downside of passive 3D technology is that images aren't seen in full HD resolution.

One thing blindly missing from the article, 1080P? The vizio is 720p so I would assume more of the same.

[Elee s]

Looking at some early customer impressions at AVS the vizio destroys the the image quality on samsungs(in 3D).
If thats the case I think its only a matter of time before Sony, Samsung, and the rest go passive. Hopefully driving the price for this technology down.

I love the idea of non active glasses here, I don't like the downgrade of definition of the picture though, but it is a first step to non active glasses and who knows maybe in a couple of years they will be able to give us full HD picture with non-active glasses. I think I will wait a bit but in term of test I prefere the active Sony systeme. I never had a headache (Panasonic) diziness (samsung).

lower resolution is still better than flickering and heavy glasses.

[HD Whore]

Sure glad those aren't the only choices!!!

That wouild be a subjective opinion. I see no flickering with my VT25 and the glasses are very comfortable - much more then the original model.

[David Susilo]

not a subjective opinion. It is a quantifiable fact that a lot of people can see and affected by the flicker. Technicolor and Panasonic did a study on this.

Comfort, on the other hand, is subjective.

Do you have a link to that study I can look at?
