TCO Development together with research partner Acreo has conducted the first comparison study under test laboratory conditions of the 2 major 3DTV techniques available to consumers today: Active and Passive eyeglasses 3DTV. In a few years from now we will likely be watching 3DTV without the need of glasses (Auto-steroscopic 3D), but today we need glasses and there is a divided opinion as to which of these 2 techniques delivers the best overall 3D experience. Therefore, TCO Development used its unique position to evaluate each of these technologies from the viewpoint of the user experience. The study confirms some important visual ergonomic differences and although it is an impartial study conducted during the ongoing TV brand conflict, we hope that the findings may guide you in your 3DTV choice.
