LG推出全球首款“不闪式”3D电视

    LG announced the newest entry to their 2011 HDTV lineup — and it’s a 3D TV that doesn’t use the heavy, expensive active-shutter 3D glasses.

    LG’s new 65-inch LW6500 uses polarized* lens-glasses, similar to the kinds of glasses used in 3D movie theaters, to achieve the 3D effect. Unlike active-shutter glasses, which use small LCD screens to alternately* dim each lens, polarized 3D glasses don’t require a battery and should be more forgiving of viewers seated at different angles.

    Best of all, LG claims they’re “Flicker Free,” with two certifications from Intertek and TuV to support their claim, so you won’t have that annoying flickering*-light problem when you sit down to watch your 3D flicks*.

    Polarized 3D glasses are also significantly cheaper to manufacture and lighter (LG’s glasses weigh 16 grams) so they won’t be as tiring to wear. Note that there is no estimated retail price or shipping date yet.

    LG isn’t the only TV manufacturer to announce polarized 3D TVs, however — Vizio announced similar “Theater 3D” TV features across their entire HDTV lineup.

    Also noteworthy: the LW6500 also has a film covering the screen LG calls the “3D Light Boost,” which is supposed to make 3D images appear as bright as possible.

    Of course, the LW6500 includes the standard gamut* of LG features. It’s an edge-lit LED display (though it does have the “LED Plus” local dimming features) with a 200hz refresh rate, 2D-to-3D upconversion, and LG’s Smart TV Internet-connected features (LG Apps, Hulu Plus, YouTube, and so on).
