LG Set To Show LW6500 Passive 3D Television


It’s a 65 inch television that will be running TruMotion operating at 200 Hz to give it a nice blur-free image, the capability to convert 2D to 3D, HDMI and USB ports, a variety of internet options like YouTube and Hulu Plus, and I’ve heard mention of a brightness booster to keep things looking nice and sharp. You can probably also figure it’ll have component and composite inputs, an Ethernet jack (or possibly outright Wi-Fi connection to have the internet options), and it’s a pretty good bet that this will be in 1080p.
But where the real surprises come on this one is from two key points: one, the LG LW6500 is using passive, as opposed to active, 3D glasses. According to reports, this says that the 3D will be flicker-free, since it’s roughly the same kind of 3D the theater uses. And two, this is set to be one of the first televisions to add on LG’s film-type patterned retarder we talked about not too long ago.
Now, we don’t specifically know prices and release dates on this just yet–but we can say one thing: based on a similar model of passive 3D television from Vizio, that’s even the same size, you can probably look for this one to weigh in around $3600.
