We talked about the LG LW6500 a few days ago. LW6500 is based on LG’s Cinema 3D – or passive 3D technology – that uses the much cheaper polarized 3D glasses. LG has announced that besides the LW6500, they are also planning to release an inexpensive LW5600 range with passive 3D.

Cinema 3D – or passive 3D – has been introduced by LG at CES 2011. The Cinema 3D technology utilizes much cheaper polarized 3D glasses that are flicker-free and has lower crosstalk. LG also points out that the 3D glasses are lighter, thinner and requires no batteries.

The new inexpensive LW5600 range comes bundled with 4 pairs of 3D glasses and more will be available at less than 20 US dollars. The TV also comes with the Magic Wand remote and the Smart TV internet interface.
