3D glasses home & cinema

Do 3D glasses that cinemas use work on 3D TVs?

And vice versa, do 3D glasses for TVs work in cinemas?

The answer in both cases is no - TVs (with a rare exception) that do 3D use active shutter glasses what ch synchronize with the tv, cinemas use passive glasses, no electricity nice involved.

I recall some tvbrand whch used passive glasses, but that wouldn’t mean that they would work in a cinema, which gives you glasses that work in any case.

LG were the only real brand that pushed passive 3D, the same type as cinema.
The LG TV glasses would work in cinema and cinema glasses vice versa.
The main type of 3D pushed for home use however was active, which requires a battery powered set of glasses and a sync between TV and glasses.

I am storing some stuff for a friend who has broken up with her boyfriend and she told I could use the TV and blu-rays. We just don't have enough glasses.

I think it is it is an LG so fo you think RealD glasses will work?

It would depend on the TV - find the model number of the tv and google it, LGs website should tell you what kind of 3D it does - you're loking for passive 3d if you want to use cinema type 3D glasses.
