Dear Zhijie: I saw this for under $300 at Amazon's Showroom and wondered the same thing. I can verify that the LG TV will work with coot, etc., as long as you turn OFF all stereographic processing and allow the software to do the work. There is an extremely detailed review of this at http://www.amazon.com/LG-D2342P-PN-23-Inch-Widescreen-Passive/dp/B004WK3R4U/ref=cm_cr-mr-title by Bill Costa (he gives his email address at the end). He seems to suggest that the 3D glasses for the LG TV are not compatible with this, which left me scratching my head.
Having said that, I'll bet it will work fine. If you can get it from Best Buy for under $300 and return it within 30 days for a full refund, it might be worth it. Either way, let us know.
