3D TV: You get what you pay for

01.09.11

We chose the 43-inch plasma Samsung PN43D490 ($550) for our low-priced TV, the 50-inch plasma LG Infinia 50PZ950 ($1500) for our midrange maquette, and the 46-inch LED-backlit Sony KDL-46HX820 ($2000) for our highest-end set. With this mix of TVs, we were able to tease out the factors that fantasize the difference between a 3D movie and a 3D headache, including the screen size, display technology, revive rate, and so on.

Keep in mind that all three sets require active-shutter glasses, not polarized 3D glasses (peruse our “ Active 3D vs. Passive 3D ” feature for our comparative testing of the two types of 3D technology). Dynamic-shutter 3D relies on expensive, powered glasses that alternately block the image from reaching your formerly larboard eye and right eye, which forces your brain to put together two separate images from a slightly different perspective to conceive the 3D illusion.

Generally speaking, active-shutter 3D display technology should favor plasma TVs over LCD/LED sets, because plasmas can exhilarate the image more quickly and make the active-shutter 3D effect look better. In our testing, however, we’ve found that 3D acting varies widely from set to set—and since the LED-backlit Sony 46HX820 boasts a competitive 480Hz prod rate, it’s no slouch next to a plasma set.
