They do have more of a strain from what I found. As someone who can sit at a co.outer for 15 hours no problem. After a movie my eyes hurt witch sucks for a binge movie watcher haha. Oh and don't let best buy try selling you a $60 HDMI cable that's no different then a $3 on newegg.
And if you go to any TV review site all say passive is better, also glasses are $50 bucks cheaper
That's the biggest problem I'm having when trying to make up my mind. Passive is better for your eyes, but when it comes to specs for gaming everyone has said plasma is better. Why don't they just make a plasma with passive 3D?! The world would be a much better place.
Do the active glasses hurt your eyes after a while?
Either active nor passive 'hurt' my eyes (they don't feel strained ever after 3D Titanic.. ).
My Playstation glasses hurt a bit on the bridge of my nose after a while, but the Bravia ones don't.
Also, I'd like to see where "any TV review site all say passive is better". Any reputable website should say they both have their strengths and weaknesses and that one is not better than the other....
Depth: Active Detail: Active Comfort: Passive Motion: Passive (debatable) Distance: Active Upkeep: Passive Cost: Passive Color: Active Brightness: Passive
Pick what is most important to you. To me, detail and depth alone far outweighed everything passive did better. All in all, most of those categories will come down to specific displays making these two technologies difficult to compare.
My personal opinion is to find the best 2D display you can afford that also supports 3D (whether active or passive). You'll likely find yourself using 2D far far more than 3D anyways so there's no point in focusing on the type of 3D.

Oh, I must have missed when simulated 3d was brought up; sorry you are correct. There is side by side, under over, and simulated (these are only for 2D content though).

If I had to choose based on that list I'd have to say Active is best for me, but I'm gonna give both a shot at the store before I make up my mind. The only thing I can't test in stores is watching them for long periods of time to see if they bother me after hours of use...
Passive 3D is not limited to 720p. The whole resolution issue is just Samsung pissing in the wind because of its refusal to support passive 3D. For a really detailed analysis of each tech you should give this a read - http://www.displaymate.com/3D_TV_ShootOut_1.htm Its a couple of years old now tho but I wouldnt take too much notice of the results PQ-wise as Plasma's are ommited and everyone knows how bad active LCD's are It just makes a good read for an understanding of the tech involved.
I have a passive LCD at the moment and its great. PQ is fantastic but thats probably down to it being an IPS panel and my brain actually being able to handle the 3D image fusion that takes place to get a 1080p Passive 3D image Personally I think it trumps my friends Active LG plasma for 3D. 'Pop-out' (or negative parallax if you prefer lol) seems more pronounced on his plasma but depth and dimensionality are definately better on my passive. His plasma is subject to horrific crosstalk at times to be honest which is probably the culprit. Might just be how he's set it up though as Ive generally been impressed with Active plasma's. Just looking at my example and you can see the problem with 3D. I have been looking around myself at an upgrade. Either an LG Cinema 3D LED or an Active Samsumg Plasma is probably my best bet for an upgrade when it concerns 3D as either will provide a fantastic 3D picture, But as nathanuc1988 stated earlier, Its best to look for a superb 2D display and have the 3D as secondary. Pretty much any TV manufactured in the past year that has a superb 2D picture will guaruntee the same for 3D with the 3+ years of refinement that has come before with the technology
You guys reckon its best to wait for 4K TV's to enter the consumer market properly to upgrade? My currentTV is fine but I have been eyeing a new LG Cinema3D panel lately. Not sure whether to stump up or wait for a 4K Cinema 3D model that'll eventually arrive
I don't think 4K is worth the wait just yet. A few years until the TVs drop in price (dramatically), and probably likewise for the 4K Blu Rays. It's a fair bet that none (or at least very little) of the PS4's gaming content will be 4K, and the required screen size TVs to even appreciate the 4K movies will be initially prohibitive for most.
I'd rather a 4K TV than 3D though. It's terrible. Real 'emporer's new clothes' stuff- the quicker it dies the death it deserves to the better.

There isn't even really any 4k content to watch. And cheapest I've seen is 25k. It'll be another 5years at bet till 4K is where blueray is now. No point to buy a TV, when nothing to watch in 4k
I'd drop $3,000 on a nice 3D 1080p OLED tv before I'd spend $1,500 on a 4K display.
