What is passive 3D glasses?

Passive 3D glasses are one of the two main types of glasses. Passive 3D works using polarized lenses that block out certain wavelengths of light to each eye, creating the illusion of depth and enabling a 3D look to a movie. Many 3D TV manufacturers also include passive 3D glasses with the purchase of their 3D TVs.

Can you use passive 3D glasses?

Can I use active 3D glasses on a passive TV? Not at all. Passive (polarized, or anaglyph) glasses only work on passive monitors/TVs, and active glasses only work on active monitors/TVs (and ones that match the refresh rate of the particular TV, which means likely the same brand as the TV).

Can you use Samsung 3D glasses with Panasonic TV?

If those Samsung glasses you’re looking at adhere to the Full HD 3D standard (which most do, since 2012), then you can happily use those inexpensive Samsung glasses with your Panasonic TV or with any other compatible 3D TV or projector.
