Personally I don't want to wear heavy shutter glasses. Just give me the light weight el-cheapo glasses like they have at the theaters these days.]]>Jan 6th 2010 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/toshiba-announces-partnership-with-reald-for-3d-teevees/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/toshiba-announces-partnership-with-reald-for-3d-teevees/I'm with you on this one. The active shutter glasses might perform better but seems like should work on improving the tech. for the passive 'theater' glasses. I would much rather wear the light weight glasses instead of the heavy bulky style glasses for 2-4 hours at a time...]]>Jan 6th 2010 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/toshiba-announces-partnership-with-reald-for-3d-teevees/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/toshiba-announces-partnership-with-reald-for-3d-teevees/Jan 6th 2010 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/toshiba-announces-partnership-with-reald-for-3d-teevees/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/toshiba-announces-partnership-with-reald-for-3d-teevees/
All of the ones I've used cut the light down at least one full stop (to 50% at maximum clarity) then cut out one more stop because the shutter is open a maximum of 50% of the time.

Now you're viewing the screen at 25% of full brightness, at maximum.

The ones locally in Hollywood for Avatar had two surfaces of silvery reflection that had to knock off another 30% of the full projection. I think they put that on to make them look high tech, or maybe to reveal any residual spots after cleaning.

I don't know who wore them before me, of course, but three days later I came down with a cold.

And until I start needing to put batteries in my Sunglasses, there is no way that shutter glasses are going to be the same size and weight. You need power to charge those LCDs in shutter glasses, and there are only a few ways to get that power to the glasses.

1 a cord (old school shutter glasses did this)
2 a battery (current shutter glasses, bulky and heavy)
3 a capacitor (lightweight but even bulkier than the battery)
4 Solar (doesn't exactly work in a dimly lit room)
5 Wireless inductive power (also bulky, as it requires a coil)

There may be more but none of the known methods of powering LCD glass are going to result in something the same size or weight as sunglasses.

Polarized will, but there are drawbacks in the display technology.

Theoretically you could have your cablebox or bluray player have IR ports for 3D so long as you have a 120hz tv connected via hdmi, but that's not good enough when companies want to force you to buy all new equipment to replace your recently purchased HDTVs.]]>Jan 6th 2010 7:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/toshiba-announces-partnership-with-reald-for-3d-teevees/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/toshiba-announces-partnership-with-reald-for-3d-teevees/Jan 6th 2010 9:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/toshiba-announces-partnership-with-reald-for-3d-teevees/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/toshiba-announces-partnership-with-reald-for-3d-teevees/Jan 8th 2010 2:52AM
