Panasonic TY-EW3D10U 3D Active Shutter Eyewear for Panasonic 3D HTDVs, Black and Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After considerable research I focused in on the shutter-based 3D glasses solution. The result was extremely satisfying, matching the other reviews and reports from similar customers. The fixed polarized solutions fail with any head tilt or angle of viewing outside the sweet spot. These glasses were in perfect condition, functioned as advertised, and are demonstrating a longer than expected battery life. The supplier was prompt, careful in shipping and offered an excellent price. The glasses were part of a combined purchase with the Panasonic TC-P65VT25 65 inch 3D Viera Plasma TV and the Panasonic DMP-BDT350 3D Blu-ray player. All the purchases work together as expected and have met all expectations.

Samsung 3D Starter Kit SSG-P2100T Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hey I purchased the entire setup, the 55 inch Samsung 3D tv, the glasses 5 pair and the dvd starter kit. I played the movie perfect out of the box. In 2D mode made some changes went back to 3D and got the crosstalk that is being mentioned in earlier post. Best Buys setup did not have it. Geek squad not familiar enough with it when they came to the house. I played with the settings with the bluray 3D player on went into the controls for the 3D setting (that only can be adjusted when 3D player is on and running) go into tv menu and under the 3D setting very last option that is blanked out unless 3D player is running is the box (3D Optimize) some are set to 0 some are plus 1. I set mine to -1 and picture cleared right up. 3D optimize when at 0 or +1 I got ghosting or cross talk. Set to -1 and picture calibrated fine. I am not sure what changed this or maybe I made the change when I was adjusting settings earlier. It only shows to allow changes when the 3D player is running. Player, TV and glasses work great. Samsung should put out a quick book on the settings for 3D this to me was important. None of the other settings and adjustments worked and not until I turned on 3D player and looked it all over did I find this adjustment and make the change. Great TV, now we need more movies!

Samsung SSG-2200AR Re-chargeable Adult 3-D Glasses - Black (Compatible with 2010 3D TVs) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The SSG-2200AR 3D glasses work. They have a solid field of view, have a sturdy feel, don't weigh enough to cause discomfort, and don't rely on potentially pricy batteries that have to be replaced each month.
That said, there are a couple of major flaws with these glasses that should be mentioned. The first, and most concerning, is the IR sensor. Active shutter glasses use IR, just like a TV remote, to sync the glasses so that the lenses block frames intended for the other eye. The sensors on these glasses are far too sensitive. During bright flashes, including some chapter transitions in movies, the sensor gets confused and shuts the glasses down for a second or so. It's not long and doesn't happen constantly, but it does get annoying especially during intense action sequences. This is easily fixed with a tiny strip of opaque tape, but remains a questionable design decision that will hopefully be rectified in future generations.
The other issue is more a misconception. The ~$50 premium to get the rechargeable batteries can appear to be a pretty good deal, but it's not. The CR2025's required by the SSG-2100AB (the same ones included with the 3D Starter Kit) are expensive in stores like Best Buy, but are widely available online for under $1 each; Amazon sells 24 (12x2) Enegizer cells in that range. The replaceable battery lasts for about 50 hours (versus 30 for the Li-ion in these) which is about a month depending on viewing habits. For a single pair of glasses, it would take 4 years to make up the extra cost, assuming that the energy cost of recharging is negligible. Another factor to consider is down time. If a battery dies in the 2100AB, you can pause the movie and have a new one going in a minute. Should the rechargeable battery drain, there is a two hour charge time before they can be used again. Add that to the more frequent stoppages from the lower capacity, more movie nights can be halted more severely. At the very least, having a battery-powered pair on standby is recommended. With prices where they are, that's a lot of money for a backup.
I'm knocking a star for each of the two issues I've had with them. From a value proposition, these really aren't that great a deal. From a technical aspect, even with a quick and cheap fix available, it is troubling that such a fault wasn't caught before retail. If you can deal with an ugly piece of tape on the front, don't mind the possibility of having to take a 2-hour break once or twice a month, and don't mind paying extra, give these a look.

SainSonic 3D Rechargeable Infrared Active Shutter Glasses For Panasonic 3D HDTVs Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Warning: the average person probably won't care about the color/contrast issues I'm seeing but if you are anal about video quality like I am, hopefully you'll find this review helpful in your purchasing decision. I was going to give it a 2 star rating but felt that was too harsh for the average person buying these. If you are a video quality nerd, consider this a 2 star rating. :)
Like most people, I bought this because of: a) the cheap price and b) rechargeable usb capabilities vs replaceable batteries.
Pros: fairly comfortable, easy to sync with tv, 3d performance seemed identical to panasonic glasses minus the issues listed under "cons"
Cons: Reflections near the corners of the glasses (not a big deal in my living room though)
This was the dealbreaker for me... the color quality is very muted and the contrast is lacking compared to the panasonics. To know exactly how muted, look at a 3d image on your tv without the glasses and notice how washed out the color palette appears. These glasses seem to add zero saturation and color correction to that as opposed to the panasonic glasses which definitely show a boost in color and even slight contrast once you look through them. It also seems like the colors are way cooler than they should be. It was very appararent in Avatar because of how lush and vibrant the jungles and creatures are. I also tested out some 3D PS3 games and the same problems came up. To be 100 percent sure, I switched between these glasses and my panasonics back and forth and consistently the color/contrast issues were obvious.
Maybe this is only an issue with my hardware but it still bums me out nonetheless. Also, it's possible my particular glasses could be faulty but I'm not going to assume the latter due to the cheap price and lack of professional reviews. "If it's too good to be true it probably is" is what I'll be going by. My specs = Panasonic 50 in. VT20 with latest software updates as of today. PS3 MGS edition with latest updates as of today.
For anybody who has purchased these already and owns either the VT20 or VT25, please test out these glasses vs the panasonics looking for what I mentioned above and let everyone know if you are seeing the same thing or that it's just me and my particular setup.

Samsung SSG-P2100T - 3D glasses - active shutter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Writing this review to try to help out others looking to buy this product.
I bought a samsung 3d tv (490 model) a few weeks ago. Was searching amazon for a good deal on the glasses and I stumbled across 2 different products with the same model number for the starter kit. One had what looked like an older version of the box and the other a newer picture with the Monster Vs. Aliens promo on the front. When comparing the 2 different listings, I found that they both came with 2 pairs of sunglasses and the MvA movie. The only difference I could find between the 2 was a price difference, mixed reviews for the one that seemed older, and maybe a cosmetic box difference. So after contemplating I decided to purchase what seemed to be the older version for a very low price of 135.00 for the box set(while the other was selling for 350.00) . I figured if I received them and they did not work I could just return them.
In 5 days I receive my package and open it up to find a pair of the glasses in the newer box with the MvA promo on the front. Open up the package and put in the MvA movie into my PS3 and put the glasses on and the 3d was working great.
I also downloaded a few of the 3d game demos in the ps store and they also worked great. I have not yet had any issues with these glasses.
These glasses fit fine over a pair of square frame glasses, although they are not the most comfortable or stylish, they don't bug to the point you want to take them off. Cant wait for more 3d titles to be released.Overall a great purchase at $135 and I dont think there is any difference between this and the other higher price product with the same model number.

DLP 3D shutter glasses and transmitter pack for your compatible 3D HDTV (computer or converter required for some 3D content) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I actually purchased the 4 pace of these glasses with the transmitter, but I no longer see this combo, so I'm leaving my review on the two pack. The glasses are very similar to what you see in the picture, but the entire border/frame is black. It seems like a durable plastic, but definitely not like the 3d 'sunglasses' you see elsewhere. I bought the Mitsubishi 3d DLP WD-60638 TV. In order to view 3D, you need the Mitsubishi 3D converter as well, and the transmitter for the glasses will connect to the converter. The glasses only work with direct line of sight to the transmitter so be sure to place the transmitter centered on your TV. I also had to upgrade the software on my TV so that the reception would be better. Overall the glasses work fine, and the 3D quality is great. However, the glasses sometimes 'de-sync' from the transmitter and you start to get flickering/pulsating between dark/normal contrast (no effect on quality of the image though). The only way I've found so far to 're-sync' the glasses is to turn the TV off then on again. It's not a major annoyance, and doesn't happen all the time, but it's why I gave these glasses 4 stars instead of 5.

Xpand Universal X103 3D Glasses Compatible with Active 3D TV's, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a Panasonic 3D and wear normal glasses , the Panny's never seemed to fit comfortably for my tastes... These feel great , secure on my face , they seem lighter on my nose than the panny's. Wearing glasses inside these felt great because they go snug around your head.You do have to set the glasses for your tv model , for some reason I thought it would automatically do it so that was a little bummer... you have to hold down the power and cycle the button until it matches your brand... it will remember it the next time so no big deal but if you do bring them to someone else's house you will have to remember how to do this or explain it to someone who is using them. My local theater is not xpand so I cannot try the cinema part but thats another setting too! so dont lose those instructions... So if your looking to buy a second or third 3d glasses for your rig consider these for its transportability and at least a change of pace from the glasses that your tv brand forces on you.
added 11/9/10 : Just played hours of Call of Duty black ops in 3D and it looked great!

ViewSonic VX2268WM 22-Inch 120 Hz 3D-Ready Monitor with 1680x1050 Resolution and Stereo Speakers - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this monitor to play fps games competitively on the pc. The monitor is very nice and works at 120hz right out of the box, no need for drivers. The monitor is very good for gaming especially if you are someone who needs 120hz to get your game to feel completely smooth. This 120hz lcd feels as good as my 120hz crt that it replaced. The monitor can be a bit bright and the stand is a bit wobbly. However, if you have a sturdy desk the wobbliness should not be a problem. You can also adjust the brightness in game and on the monitor to tweak it so that it is not so bright. Although the monitor might be on the bright side, it allows you to see people easier in call of duty, battlefield, and even quakelive. It allows me to easier see dark areas that I sometimes had trouble seeing with my old 120hz crt. I have used the monitor on numerous games and it has worked flawlessly on all of them. It helped improve my visibility in call of duty 4, and bc2 with its great crisp colors and brightness. The monitor is even perfect for twitch shooters with its fast response time and 120hz. It has zero input lag and will only help you improve your aim in FPS games. The monitor is also beautiful on SC2. It allows you to get a very wide view of the battlefield allowing you to micro better.
I would recommend this monitor to anyone who is looking to get a new monitor for gaming. One of my real life friends also purchased this monitor and he seems to love it more than I do. The monitor came with zero dead pixels for both him and I and worked at 120hz straight out of the box for both of us (no drivers needed). However, we both noticed that the monitor was very bright. Sometimes the brightness can make text look strange in microsoft word or a PDF. However, you will get used to it after you use it for a little while.
If you have an ATI card beware that some of the cards do not support 120hz. This monitor without the 120hz runs like crap and looks like crap. I would advise that you buy a different monitor if you are not going to use it at 120hz.
I would also recommend that you buy this monitor over other 120hz lcd monitors that support 1920x1080 resolution due to the fact that the 1080p resolution is not that great for gaming. 1680x1050 is the way to go if you are into FPS games. I have a 1080p lcd monitor and it is not as smooth as this monitor and it makes the games look too pretty can bog down your system.

Samsung SSG-P2100X/ZA (IMAX/Dragon) 3D Starter Kit, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)okay so the glasses seem like pretty good quality and the picture quality is amazing. I will add that it seems a little dark but a simple brightness adjustment fixed that for the most part. My problem with this product is that you have to send a voucher in to get your movies I did this online and it was very simple to do the problem is it said it will take 10 to 12 weeks to delivery I see no reason for it to take that long as there is not a lot of 3d contant right now and you would think that samsung would want me to be able to enjoy my movies as soon as possible considering how much money I gave them

Panasonic TY-EW3D2LU 3D Active Shutter Eyewear for Panasonic 3D HDTVs - Large Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, I will preface this review by saying that I have only used these glasses for a total of appx. 30 minutes, and so I may modify my rating next week to 4 stars, but I highly doubt that (I plan to watch about 5 3D Blu-Rays from start to finish using my new glasses while on vacation!).
A few things, the weekend before these arrived, I was at home and I went to watch Ice Age 3 3D and as I pulled out my 3D Panasonic Gen 1 glasses the first 2 of 3 pairs were dead!!!!! No 'auto off' feature, and I have no idea if I forgot to turn them off or more likely bumped the power switch while folding them up etc. and putting them into their protective boxes! Thankfully my 3rd pair still had a working battery.
So, improvement #1 - when these new Gen 2 Glasses are 'on' there is a steady blinking pulse from the LED. Improvement #2 - the power is no longer a button to be pressed but a 'switch'.
Next, once they arrived, since I did have one pair of the Gen 1's that still had a working battery I decided to watch appx. 20-30 minutes of Ice Age 3 3D with the old glasses first just to refresh my memory of all the things I 'disliked' about the old glasses - don't fit snug, light seeps in from the sides, none of the nose pieces fit properly, to easy to accidentally turn on when putting away or whatnot. Most especially though, they feel like they are going to fall off my face and when I lay sideways on the couch if I rest my head against a pillow it 'pushes' them off so I have to sit in awkward positions to watch my 3D content.
The new glasses were a god send- they fit perfectly (I used my snowboarding helmet size and measured my head to be certain I was a size medium), they are snug without pinching or hurting anywhere. I felt like I could power them off, walk in the kitchen, get a drink, come back, power them back on and pick up where I left off!
More importantly I can now lay or sit in any position I want without worry that my glasses will be falling off my face! Also, the sides no longer have those huge gaps in them!!
Icing on the cake, as mentioned above - on/off 'switch', flashing LED for on/off status, AND a USB charging cable (why all of this was not done in the Gen 1 glasses I have no idea, but after spending around $3,000+ on my 3D setup it was WELL worth the extra money for me to grab a set of these glasses).
I'll update my review after I spend more time with them but I couldn't figure out why there were no reviews when these have been out since October so I took a chance and ordered them and wanted to help if there were others still on the fence about getting these.
Be sure to get the right size though as the nose piece is not interchangeable (which I actually prefer).
Happy (3D) Viewing!!!

Sony TDG-BR100 Adult Size 3D Active Glasses, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A parital reason I decided to go with Sony for my new HD3dTV was the performance of the the 3d shutter glasses and their comfort. Glasses are not really the correct terms as these are more like goggles that will fit over a pair of regular glasses. They are totaly enclosed and shut out most light from the tops and sides. They do dim the picture a bit but most 3dTV's compensate for this by getting much brighter in 3d mode. They work well with in the the range they are intended. If you tilt your head more than 10 degrees of so either left or right the 3d effect is lost. Opperation is simple with a single button to push on and off. They're semi adjustable for those with smaller heads but if you have small children like me then you will need to get the BR50's which are narrower lighter and more like a regular pair of glasses. Part of what I enjoyed was the fact that they do block most ambient light from all but in front. They are fairly hefty and you will start to feel their wieght right about the time the credits role in a two hour movie, but then I don't normally wear glasses and I start to feel that way after two hours in a pair of sunshades, YMMV. Unlike the Panasonics and Samsungs glasses I tried, you can still opperate a laptop or anything else with them on and not get a lot of flicker. The other brands tended to cause every other light source to flicker except for the TV's which only flickered when the glasses were out of sync. The Sony's sync very qucikly and don't reset during bright parts of the movie ala the Panasonics. They could be lighter but frankly they feel quite sturdy and not nearly as fragile FEELING as other brands I've tried. They are battery powered by a standard CR2032 watch battery and last for about 80 hours of viewing. If you watched a 2 hour 3d movie every night, plus a football game every week they'd last just over a month. That was a concern for me until I did the math. The Sony sell for about $100 vs the other brand reacharbles which go for $150. With batteries selling for about $8 for a pack of 10 it would take 4 years of watching at that rate to see any savings on the rechargables. Overall they work well though I wished they came with a hard case instead a velvet pouch.

iTV Goggles with 80-Inch Virtual Hi-Resolution Screen and 3D Capability for 3D Movies Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I took a gamble on these and will be returning the immediately.
there is a rainbow colored border around the outside edge of the viewscreen, and the idea that they are a virtual "80 inch screen from 7 feet away" is misleading at best, and I think it is just a lie. sit 5 feet away from a 32 inch TV and that is the size of the screen you will see. I am very skeptical of the 640 x 480 resolution the product claims to have, I thought it was slightly worse picture quality than and old fashioned TV. I could barely read subtitles even after carefully lining up the screen (if you have one side higher than the other you will see a double image). I don't have a 3D capable device so I can't say if that works or not. These things are a rip off. don't be a sucker like I was.
