ASUS VG236H 23-Inch 120 Hz 3D Ready Panel Monitor with nVidia 3D Vision Kit - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to reward myself for getting a scholarship, (which is rather counter-intuitive, but hey you need to celebrate.) and I was pleasantly surprised. This was not before swearing at the computer for about 30 minutes trying to install all the drivers the right way, but once it worked, the 3d effects were quite amazing.
I was disappointed to find that nothing really jumped OUT at you, but instead it felt like the monitor was a window to a smaller world. Nevertheless, it was very impressive. It didn't put as much of a press on my computer as all the reviews said it would, I was still getting very acceptable framerates playing rather demanding games using a GTX 275.
The glasses are pretty cool looking, and as a small bonus, they come charged enough to work out of the box. The monitor is really fantastic too, beautiful 1080p resolution, bright colors, and you can adjust it a lot of different ways for the best angle.
I originally got this for the games, and I was really shocked at how well all of them worked, I've yet to reach a game that doesn't support it.
My beef with this is the price. I would have waited if I wasn't so impulsive. The price was just a bit too high for what you get. It's cool and everything, but you are definitely paying a premium for new technology. It is cool enough that I'm keeping it though - I'm not regretting it THAT much.
And since this is a new technology, the amount of media for this is pretty small for everything but the games. There are a couple picture sets on nvidia website, but aside from that, you are pretty much stuck playing games for the 3d effect.
tl;dr: If you have the money, and PLAY GAMES, I'd recommend this. Otherwise, wait it out.

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.

Sony TMR-BR100 3D Sync Transmitter for Sony's 3D Glasses, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It works well. Good 3D quality. What I don't understand is why only SONY TV's you need this transmitter and other brands you do not. why can't it be built in. Its just an added expense and somethhig sticking out in front of the TV instead of being built in.

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

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.

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!

Samsung SSG-2100AB Battery 3D Glasses, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)technology innovations are going to cost more at the leading edge ... i have seven children at home, several grand children and grand parents who have all come over and watched the 3d movie (only one so far) ... we even watch some regular blue-ray movies in the simulated 3d mode, which is not as great, but it does add depth ... and no one has damaged the glasses, from age 2 (with parental supervision) to age 78 ... with lots of young hands turning the glasses on and off ... we have four of them, kid tested for over four months and all working and intact ... yes, they are not indestructable, they could be easily broken with carelessness, but you would think if something cost a hundred dollars, you would take care of them and not leave them to be sat on ... and for those who care, not one of us have had headaches or anything else after several hours at a time and over fifty hours over the four months ... and 3d is great ... the whole picture just has so much more realism (if one can have that in an animation film) ... just the individual hairs on the moth ... the many times you just put your hand out there cause you believe you can almost touch the picture ... just fabulous ... maybe not for everyone, but out of the sixty or so people who have watched at our house, not one of them was not impressed and everyone wants to know when we are getting our next 3d movie (more than likey meatballs this month) ... there has always been those who put technology down or believe everything should be indestructable and a cheap price ... well, the car, television, computer and many other advances have overcome those that are negative, (of course some advances have failed miserably) ... but my advice is to judge for yourself, i know a couple of box and department stores that have the tv and glasses for demonstrations ... take the time and see for yourself ...

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.

Ultimate3DHeaven Ultra-Clear Samsung compatible 3D Glasses Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought 2 of the U3DH Ultra-Clear glasses as they are identical to the NXG Technology NX-3DG in every way but the U3DH version has a blue frame (and cheaper cost). The quality is very good and the the most important trait is that 3D looks excellent on my Samsung UN55C8000 through these glasses. Each pair of glasses came in a nice fabric bag with protection plastic wrap and a cleaning cloth. The glasses take a 2032 battery which was pre-installed, so the glasses are ready to go once unwrapped. So, now everyone in my family has their own pair of 3d shutter glasses. We all had a ball watching my son play Call of Duty: Black OPS in the games native 3D mode. The game looked AMAZING in 3D with the new glasses.2D-3D mode on the Samsung looked good and 3D blu-ray looks incredible.
Do not buy the way more expense Samsung brand glasses when you can save a bundle with these great after market versions.

Samsung BD-C6900 1080p 3D Blu-ray Disc Player W/ 5pc Hook Up Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this product this morning.
I plugged the Blu-Ray 3d player up (with an HDMI 1.4 cable I thankfully ordered separately, see below). When I plugged in the power, my Sony 810 Receiver Sony STR-DH810 7.1-channel A/V Receiver with 7 HD Inputs [3D Compatible] (I'll review that, too) sensed it, switched over, and there I was in the setup menu. A few clicks, everything was done, including the network settings, put in the 3d movie (Shrek), and away it went, and 3d looks great on my UN55C8000 Sammy 3d LCD TV. Samsung UN55C8000 55-Inch 1080p 240 Hz 3D LED HDTV No ghosting that I could see, just as good as the local cinema, maybe even better (except they have great popcorn).
I got the startup kit with 2 pair of 3D glasses on Amazon as well Samsung SSG-P2100S/ZA Shrek 3D Starter Kit, Black
I didn't have to do anything else, the TV auto-sensed the type of 3d signal, and it just went to work. Just like it's supposed to. I am very pleased so far, and if time shows me issues, I'll come back and update this review.
Now, for the negative in all of this:
The "kit" part of this comes with HDMI 1.3 cables. A total waste, you need 1.4 to do 3D. The kit did come with a nice bottle of screen cleaner and a soft cloth, so it wasn't a total waste, but the HDMI cables are the important part, and they're not usable for a 3D install. What were they thinking?
There's also a component cable, but I have no use for that, either.
It's now official. I will now always wait for the Blu-Ray version, no need to pay more for us to see it than it does for us to own it and enjoy it in the comfort of our own home.
So, for the Samsung Blu-Ray 3D, 5 stars, for the kit, 2 stars (generous, since the cleaning stuff is the only thing usable).
