Here's why:
* Different Technologies: Movie theaters and 3D TVs use different technologies to create the 3D effect.
* Movie theaters typically use circularly polarized glasses. This means the lenses filter light with a specific polarization, separating the images intended for each eye.
* 3D TVs commonly use passive or active shutter technology.
* Passive 3D uses polarized lenses like movie theaters but with linear polarization.
* Active shutter 3D uses glasses with tiny LCD shutters that alternate between each eye, synchronized with the TV's frame rate.
* Incompatibility: The different polarization methods and the active shutter technology mean that the glasses used in one system won't work with the other.
* Frequency: Even if the polarization was compatible, the shutter frequency used in active shutter 3D TVs would be different from the frequency used in movie theaters. This difference would result in flickering or blurred images.
In summary: You'll need to use the 3D glasses specifically designed for your 3D TV.
