[quote="Woeler1"]^may I ask you why you chose to buy an active 3dtv? The glasses are really expensive and my passive 3dtv came with 8 glasses.
Anyway i think the 3d did not add anything significant, but it was fun to watch it in 3d. I prefer to watch the 3d bluray over the normal bluray.
There are some moments when things pop out of the screen. Like Zazu flying at beginning and Scar jumping in the end.

Short answer - Active is technically better and produces a better quality image, therefore it is the one I went with.
Long answer - Also it came down to a choice between two TVs, a passive set from LG or an active one from Panny, and even without the 3D I still would have chosen the one I did its not just better with 3D images, its the better TV period. The fact that not a single bit of the image quality is lost in 3D, unlike passive sets is just the icing on the cake.
I mean really, let us be honest for a second here - 90% of the stuff we view on a 3DTV will not even be in 3D anyway and the 2D picture is soooooo much better than the passive set I looked at, then there is the additional stuff it does like internet connectivity, recording to a hard drive, more inputs, 2D to 3D conversion, built in virtual surround sound etc. Passive sets generally do not have such gubins, as to keep the costs low. But if one is going to spend so much money on a 3DTV to begin with, you might as well pay extra and get the better experience, no?
