They can also use circularly polarised light (opposite handed-ness of 
polarisation for each eye) as this doesn't require you to keep the 
glasses horizontal.

Every LCD I've come across has linear polarised light coming out of it, 
so if you can rotate your glasses in front of an LCD to make the image 
go completely black then they're linear glasses, if not they're circular.

If you've got a TV/monitor that works with passive glasses then give it 
a shot, you might get lucky. Often the TV will have a setting to 
override the 3D image format (side-by-side, interlaced etc) - you just 
need to match you POV images to the format the TV is expected, 
side-by-side is probably easiest to create.
