Such a shame they couldn't use Passive on their current 3D TV's (HX & NX series). I'm really happy with my NX720, but Active 3D just blows.

It shouldn't. It should be better for giant screens.

They could barely achieve any noteworthy 1080 upconverting much less trying to upconvert "older films" to 4K.

This is such an overkill waste until broadcasts start putting out 4K.

NOthing like spending an arm and a leg on a tv that only has 20% true functionality.
