what kind of glasses do you need active or passive?

The converter works with the glasses that are compatible with your 3D TV. I have a Panasonic Plasma 3D TV and the Panasonic glasses are the totally compatible with the 3D-Bee.

the kind of 3d glasses you need is dependent on the type of 3D tv you have not on this 3d converter.

The type of glasses don't make a difference for the 3D-Bee. But they do make a difference for the type of 3D viewing device you choose to view the 3D-Bee's converted 3D content on. If you want to watch more 3D content on your 3D TV, then you must use the type of glasses your TV requires.

No, a pair of 3D glasses cannot be used for any type of 3D source. Televisions use several types of 3D, including ACTIVE, and PASSIVE. The source to activate the glasses can also be very different, from IR (infrared) and RF (radio frequency) the glasses must be the right kind to work. The type used in movie theaters are PASSIVE.

Well, the way I understand it, a 3D TELEVISION is either "active" or "passive". I would imagine that 3D PROJECTORS are the same. ACTIVE means you will need the battery powered shutter type glasses to view picture. PASSIVE means that you can use movie theatre type glasses which are the type you purchased. So, I think you need to determine (if I know what I am talking about) which type of projector you have - ACTIVE or PASSIVE. So the bottom line, if your projector is active, then these glasses will not work. Keep in mind that I am not an expert and sometimes may not know what I am talking about!

You need active glasses meaning the are battery operated I've tríed only the ones that come with the projector. There are 2 kinds of active glasses RF and infrared this projector uses RF but not all kinds work with it

Nope. Passive polarized glasses are used usually in movie theaters, which is an altogether different technology( it offers cheaper glasses but the system itself is quite expensive). Polarized 3d technology is also inferior to active shutter technology imho, which is used by most home 3D systems including Optoma. Optoma active shutter glasses are expensive, but there might be lower priced alternatives( non Optoma active shutter glasses). I would love to hear if some one else have tried those with any Optoma product. I need to buy another pair for my family members.

No is passive 3d you only need the glasses it brings or even theater glasses.

I have not had any issues with any of the passive 3D glasses. I bought several generic passive 3D glasses and they work just fine.

No. While they will sort of work these are not active lens. They are basic polarized 3d frames. Good for the movie theater. It is like watching 480p on a 1080i screen. It can be done but you miss out.

no. You would have to have a 3D Cinema HDTV and use passive glasses (same as movie theatre). These are Active 3D glasses.

I own this projector and 3D is beautiful.The projector is designed for active glasses. Why would you use passive glasses? I have my projector Connected to a PlayStation 3. You can get active glasses that are inexpensive and work great. These are great! SainSonic SSZ-200DLB 144Hz 3D IR Active Rechargeable Shutter Glasses.

If "passive" glasses are a requirement for your tv they will work very well.

No. Need ACTIVE 3-D glasses for that T.V. Best place to find them (and cheapest) is Amazon.com.

I am getting this projector soon. My question is...what active shutter glasses are best for image AND DOES NOT GET TOO DARK(SCREEN) WHEN ACTIVATED. I have a 3000lumen projector now with 3d, but the glasses I have when on really make the screen much darker...any good recommendations ?

Passive 3D is similar to what you experience in the movie cinema, in fact your cinema glasses(IMAX/RealD 3D) can be used at home on these television for 3D at home as well... the glasses are lightweight and affordable and doesn't require charging like the expensive $100 pair of active 3D glasses. Active 3D is said to provide a bit crisper resolution however as alluded to, the glasses are over $100 per pair and use an LCD flicker type technology to "actively" sync with the tv and give you 3D... this however can cause headaches for most persons, especially if worn for an extended period. these classes carry a chargeable battery and are bigger and heavier(therefore more uncomfortable) than passive 3D Passive 3D is similar to what you experience in the movie cinema, in fact your cinema glasses(IMAX/RealD 3D) can be used at home on these television for 3D at home as well... the glasses are lightweight and affordable and doesn't require charging like the expensive $100 pair of active 3D glasses.

Vizio has two kinds of 3D glasses, passive and active. The passive ones are relatively cheap and work with a lot of models of 3D TVs. These can be used in a movie theater. On the other hand, certain Vizio TVs require the active type of glasses that have to be charged and they actually communicate with the TV to provide a very accurate 3D experience. These glasses are not cheap and only work with a few particular models of Vizio TVs. They do not work in a movie theater, obviously.

actually, Gooflee is right. Passive 3d glasses gives you a maximum of 540p in 3d because it splits one 1080 image into two for the glasses. Active gives you full 1080p because it displays a full 1080 image in each eye.
