Will the 3D Glasses I brought home from the cinema work on my new 3D TV?

[XCalinX]

Hey guys,
When I saw Star Wars 7 I brought the 3d glasses home and they made me want to buy a 3D 4K TV for my rig instead of a monitor. I was just wondering if I will be able to use the ones I got from the Cinema with the TV or if I must use the ones that came with the TV. The TV is a Samsung 40JU7000.
Thanks.

No, Samsung use Active 3D. It would work with all LG 3D TV's, and some Sony's, etc, but not Samsung, unfortunately.

Typically no, Samsung uses active shutter tech in their glasses. Unless they changed that recently. The glasses from the theater are categorized as passive. There are a few TVs that will work with those. Vizio with their "Theater 3D" and I think LG. Otherwise, most manufacturers opted for active shutter glasses.

Thanks for your answers guys. I'll be buying the TV next month so I still have time to find a good LG one. But I heard the response time on Samsung is better than other brands which matters for me as a PC gamer.

Not true, all brands have good and bad models, just make sure to research input lag as they wont include it in most specifications published. Also don't trust the sales people, my local PC World Superstore TV Expert tried telling me input lag and refresh rate were the same thing

What? I saw some reviews on YT. Also I'm considering a curved non 3D TV too.

Most TV's not ment specifically for TV and movies are 20-40 ms of input lag. I would argue that the gaming monitor input lag at around 10 ms, is not really noticeable compared to 30 ms, but then again, the way people measure this and show others that there's a difference, obviously those that skipped math class needs this. The video will show a clear difference, but they also slow it down to further prove their point. Gaming monitor marketing in a nutshell.
