I was down at JB hi-fi on the w/e, they had a Samsung 3d tv 55" on display and speaking to the guy working there, he explained that you need 5 components to make 3d possible, a 3d tv, 3d dvd player, a 3d specific cable, 3d content & 3d glasses, then he went into explaining that you cant use just any 3d glasses you have to use the ones specified for the tv or for that 3d format, as there are different 3d formats which each manufacturer will be using.

The basics behind 3D is to get a slightly different picture to each eye.

There a 3 methods of doing this:

Red/Blue filters
Glasses are cheap and have red and blue cellophane in each eye. Works mostly with black and white because colour range is severely diminished.

Polarise filters
Two images are projected over each other in different polarity. The glasses the cinema gives out have two different polarising filter in each eye so each eye see a different image. This is how the current range of 3D movies are being shown.

High speed LCD shutters
TV/projectors with very high refresh rate (200hz for TVs, 70hz for projectors) display pictures for each eye one after the other. Special syncronised glasses shut off one eye at a time using LCD at the same rate. IMAX have used this format for a while and now Samsung are using it for their TVs. Because glasses are active (as opposed to passive) they are expensive.

We were using glasses which had power and needed to be recharged after a certain amount of use i think they last up to 50 hours.

So if there's only 2, 3D formats being used then that's ok less complications I thought there would of been like 5 different 3D formats.

For the Samsung 55" 3D TV was on sale for 4499 something like that which isn't bad, I still think its still too early to go out and buy one.
