All but one or two, demonstrated their product with "shutter" glasses. These "active" battery powered glasses were, indeed, not compatible with a competitive TV model. It has to do with the frequency of the IR signal from the TV to the eyeware. Additionally, the glasses are selling in the $100.00 - $150.00 price range. TV maker LG, has realized that the price and incompatibility of the "shutter" glasses presented a barrier to many TV buyers. This month LG will introduce a 3-D HDTV in the UK. This TV will use "passive" glasses technology. A simple plastic frame with circular polarized film lenses. The glasses will probably sell at retail in the $3.00 - $10.00 range depending on design etc. We expect the other TV makers will follow with this technology and we will see them in the USA (perhaps) by Christmas.
